Job description

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic, inspiring and reliable Community Health Care Assistant, who is willing to support and deliver a range of high quality nursing and phlebotomy services to patients in their own homes who are registered with GP Practices within Chester South.

A commitment to support our team in delivering high quality services is essential for this role, and you will also need to demonstrate excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to be adaptable, trustworthy and approachable.

We are a friendly, compassionate and highly motivated team that work hard to deliver the best outcomes possible for our patients and are seeking someone with similar values and behaviours to join us.

Previous experience in this role would be an advantage. Travel is an integral part of this post.

'CWP has adopted the Living Wage. Where the standard Agenda for Change hourly rate is below Living Wage, pay will be supplemented to this level.'

Working within our integrated team, you will undertake duties involving the delivery of nursing services using a person centred approach. This involves providing quality care to patients in their own home, or patients in long term care settings, avoiding unnecessary admission to hospital.

As the role involves visiting patients in their own environment, access to transport for work purposes is essential.

Cheshire and Wirral Partnership (CWP) provides health and care services for a population of over one million people, including mental health, learning disability, community physical health and all-age disability care, as well as the provision of three GP surgeries in Cheshire.

We employ around 4,500 staff across 73 sites and have services across Wirral and Cheshire, as well as Trafford, Warrington, Bolton, Halton and Liverpool. We also provide specialist services for the North West as a whole.

Our aim is to help improve the lives of everyone in our communities, adopting a compassionate, person-centred approach to everything we do. We are rated as Outstanding for Caring by the Care Quality Commission, with a Good rating overall.

As a Disability Confident Employer, Rainbow Badge Scheme member, Veteran Aware organisation and proud holder of the Armed Forces Covenant Employer Recognition Scheme Gold Award, CWP is committed to making our recruitment practices as inclusive as possible and developing a culture that values differences, and welcome applications from people who have direct experience of accessing our services.

We also offer up to three weeks’ induction, with our Prepare to Care programme for all new starters. This aims to give you all the knowledge and guidance to help you hit the ground running with CWP.

Whether you are just starting out in your career or looking to use your existing skills and experience in a new role, you’ll find something to suit you at CWP.
