Job description

3 shifts per week | 07:00–19:00

A rewarding one-to-one role where care, companionship, creativity and clinical support come together.

Invictus Complex Care is looking for a warm, reliable and enthusiastic Complex Care Assistant to join our small team supporting a 22-year-old lady living in the Basingstoke area.

This is not a traditional care-home role.

You will provide one-to-one support in the client's own home and community, helping her maintain her independence, follow her routines and enjoy the activities and interests that are important to her.

You will become part of a consistent team, supported by our nurse-led clinical team, with comprehensive training provided for the specific care needs of the role.

Why you might love this role

• £15 per hour- equivalent to £28080 per year
• 3 shifts per week
• 07:00–19:00 day shifts
• Consistent one-to-one support
• Small, friendly team
• Nurse-led clinical support
• Comprehensive paid training
• Ongoing clinical guidance and development
• Opportunity to build a genuine relationship with the person you support
• A role combining healthcare, companionship, rehabilitation and meaningful activities

About the person you'll be supporting

Our client is a 22-year-old lady who values her independence and enjoys having a consistent routine and support that is built around her individual needs, preferences and interests.

She has a creative personality and particularly enjoys:

• Art and crafts
• Cosplay
• Music
• Making things
• Getting out into the community

We're looking for someone who will enjoy getting involved in these interests and helping create positive, meaningful experiences throughout the day.

This role is about much more than completing a list of care tasks. It's about supporting a young woman to live her life as independently and meaningfully as possible.

About the care

Our client has a number of complex health needs, including Ehlers‑Danlos Syndrome (EDS), Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), fibromyalgia, gastroparesis, epilepsy and autism.

The role includes supporting with:

• Personal care and maintaining dignity
• Medication administration
• NJ tube feeding
• Pain management and monitoring
• Continence care
• Daily routines
• Rehabilitation and promoting independence
• Social and community activities
• Hobbies and interests
• Companionship and emotional support
• Creating a safe and comfortable environment

You do not need to have experience with every aspect of this care.

Our experienced, nurse-led clinical team will provide full training, competency support and ongoing clinical guidance relating to the specific needs of the client.

Experience with PEG feeding would be beneficial, although it is not essential.

The person we're looking for

You might already be working as a:

• Complex Care Assistant
• Healthcare Assistant
• Support Worker
• Community Care Worker
• Personal Assistant
• Rehabilitation Assistant
• Nursing Associate
• Nurse
• Experienced carer

Previous experience in complex care, healthcare or support work is desirable, but we're equally interested in your attitude, personality and willingness to learn.

You will be someone who is:

• Caring, patient and compassionate
• Reliable and dependable
• Calm and reassuring
• Respectful of independence and personal choice
• Confident providing personal care
• Comfortable supporting someone with complex health needs
• A good communicator
• Happy working as part of a small team
• Creative and enthusiastic about activities and hobbies
• Passionate about helping someone achieve greater independence

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who understands that good care is about the person, not just the task.

Driving requirement

A full UK driving licence is required as driving forms part of the client's social and community support.

Due to the requirements of the client's vehicle insurance, applicants must be aged 25 or over to drive the client's vehicle.

Shift pattern

The core provision is:

07:00–19:00 | Monday–Friday

You will be contracted to 3 shifts per week, with the weekday provision shared across a small team.

This gives you the opportunity to develop a consistent working relationship with the client while enjoying a manageable number of shifts each week.

Why Invictus Complex Care?

At Invictus, we believe excellent complex care starts with excellent people.

As part of our team, you'll have:

• £15–£22 per hour
• Paid comprehensive training
• Ongoing training and development
• Regular clinical guidance from our nurse-led team
• A supportive management team
• A small and consistent working environment
• The opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with the people you support

Could this be you?

If you're looking for something more personal than a traditional care role, and you'd like to combine clinical care with companionship, creativity, rehabilitation and meaningful activities, we’d love to hear from you.

You don't need to know everything on day one.

You do need to be kind, reliable, curious and willing to learn.
