Job description

We are currently recruiting for HSCWs to provide support on a 2:1 basis for a young child who lives in her family home in Barnet. Experience of working with children is essential.

Superior Healthcare provides round-the-clock care packages to support people living with long-term health conditions to live in the comfort and safety of their own homes.

As a Community Healthcare Assistant, you join our complex care team and will work long-term with one or a small number of clients. You will benefit from a fixed rota with the option of overtime.

We are ideally looking for carers, support workers and healthcare assistants who are keen to work full-time hours; however part-time roles are offered.

How we’ll support you

Superior Healthcare will provide full, paid classroom-based training when you join us and paid induction shifts and ongoing supervision support from our in-house team of nurses and supervisors.

If a client’s needs mean that you require extra skills (for example, if they need assistance to meet their nutritional requirements), we will provide paid, specialist training to ensure that you, as a community care assistant, can confidently support their needs and develop your own skills.

If you are eager to build a rapport with one or a small number of clients within your local community, keen to broaden your skills and welcome the consistency of the work that Superior Healthcare can offer, we hope to hear from you!
