About Us

We are setting a new standard in complex care by combining expert clinical services with compassionate, person-centred support. “Together Towards Tomorrow” is more than our motto, it’s how we empower our clients and our staff to grow, achieve, and thrive.

We make a positive impact on entire families, nurturing their growth and working towards new achievements, always mindful of unique conditions and abilities. Our dedicated team continuously seeks new ways to improve and adapt our services, making a meaningful difference in the lives we touch.

Your Role

We are seeking a skilled Complex Care Healthcare Assistant to support an adult client with multiple, complex cognitive and physical medical needs. Competency in complex neurological care is essential, along with previous experience supporting clients with traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. You should have demonstrable knowledge of traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation, including the ability to support speech and language, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. Experience in caring for clients with dysphagia is also advantageous.

Our client has a wide range of interests and particularly enjoys music, the arts, humanities, comedy, gardening, cooking, word games, puzzles, and sudoku. The ideal candidate will be reliable, compassionate and have a great sense of humour, with the confidence to engage in conversations around these topics and support meaningful interaction.

Alongside a strong understanding of our client’s personal preferences, clinical needs, and care plan, you must be able to remain calm and patient under pressure, with the ability to respond quickly, effectively managing emergency situations.

This role involves providing consistent 24/7 care within a home setting, including close monitoring, personal care, assistance with eating and drinking, and emotional support.

Clinical skills required include:

• Complex seizure management
• Medication administration
• Oxygen therapy
• Oral suctioning
• Continence care

Communication and sensory needs:

• Support is needed for delayed processing and memory retrieval
• Extra time is essential for verbal responses – no rushing
• Communication must be inclusive and supported with gentle cues
• Avoid overstimulating environments – low noise and calm spaces are preferred
• You will possess the ability to adjust your communication style and correctly interpret non‑verbal responses

You’ll play a vital role in maintaining routine, preventing medical emergencies and creating a calm, supportive environment that promotes safety, dignity, and well‑being.

Why Choose Innovate?

• No unpaid travel time – you’re paid for the work you do.
