Job description

Pay rates £16.00 – £19.00 per hour (Bank holidays up to £30)

Superior Healthcare are recruiting a Complex Healthcare Assistant to support a client in Tunbridge Wells.

Our client is a friendly gentleman living with a spinal cord injury following an accident. He requires 24‑hour support to help him live comfortably and maintain his independence at home. He uses an electric wheelchair, which he manages very well himself, and has a suprapubic catheter that requires daily care.

He experiences spasms in his arms and legs, so part of the role includes supporting him with gentle, passive exercises when needed. He really appreciates carers who are patient, kind, and take the time to listen.

Outside of his care, he enjoys getting out for fresh air and especially loves fishing when the weather allows, so it’s a lovely opportunity to support him with activities he enjoys.

We’re looking for carers who are compassionate, reliable, and happy to go the extra mile to make a real difference in someone’s day-to-day life.
