About Us

Routes Healthcare is a leading complex care provider - we are a care company, not an agency. We're real people who put individual healthcare needs first. We support people in their own homes (not in care homes), providing specialist 1-2-1 care for clients with complex health needs.

About the Role

This is a complex care position- you'll be providing dedicated, specialist care to clients with long-term complex health conditions in their own homes.

What You'll Be Doing

Specialist Complex Care

• Supporting clients with tracheostomy care, ventilation support, and respiratory needs
• Managing complex medication regimens and clinical observations
• Providing personal care with dignity and respect for clients with physical disabilities
• Supporting clients with PEG feeding and nutritional management

Your Role

• Providing 1-2-1 care in the client's own home
• Working solo or as part of a 2-person team on double-up care packages
• Following detailed care plans created by our clinical team
• Maintaining accurate care records and clinical documentation
• Communicating effectively with clients, families, and the wider care team

What Makes Complex Care Different

Unlike standard homecare, you'll be working with clients who have significant clinical needs requiring enhanced skills and training. This includes supporting people with:

• Long-term ventilation and tracheostomy care
• Neurological conditions requiring specialist positioning and care
• Life-limiting conditions requiring palliative and end-of-life care
• Complex physical disabilities requiring moving and handling expertise

All focused on supporting each individual's lifestyle and wellbeing while managing their clinical needs safely and effectively.

We are committed to making lives better 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not only for the people we support but their loved ones and family members too.

Shift Patterns & Hours

• Consistent shift patterns with the same client(s)
• Range of shifts available Monday to Sunday (weekend availability required)
• Day shifts or night shifts available

• Once committed to a shift, we need you to complete the full shift reliably

What We Offer

• Clinical skills training including tracheostomy, ventilation, PEG feeding
• Ongoing training and progression opportunities into senior complex care roles

Support

• Dedicated clinical on-call team available 24/7
