36 GUARANTEED HOURS EVERY WEEK

Looking for something that is becoming increasingly difficult to find in homecare – genuinely guaranteed contracted hours?

Alcedo Care is recruiting a Female Complex Care Assistant to join a dedicated team supporting one adult client in their own home in Whitehaven.

This is not a zero-hours position.

You will have a guaranteed 36-hour contract, every week, giving you the security of consistent hours, a reliable income and the opportunity to become part of a stable, long-term care team.

About the Role

You'll be supporting an adult with complex mental health who wishes to continue living safely and comfortably in their own home while retaining as much independence, choice and control as possible.

This is a highly person-centred role. Alongside providing clinical and physical support, you'll be helping someone continue to live their life at home, surrounded by the people and things that matter to them.

The client has complex healthcare needs, so we're looking for carers who are calm, observant and confident working responsibly as part of a closely supported care team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing safe, compassionate and person-centred support
• Medication support in accordance with the care plan
• Supporting personal care while protecting the client's dignity, privacy and choices
• Assisting with moving and handling, including hoisting and specialist equipment
• Supporting a client who communicates using alternative/non-verbal methods
• Recognising signs of discomfort, fatigue, anxiety or deterioration
• Responding calmly and appropriately to changes in the client's presentation
• Promoting independence and supporting the client's right to make informed choices
• Maintaining accurate care records and providing clear handovers
• Following clinical risk assessments, care plans and escalation procedures
• Working closely with the wider care and clinical team to provide consistent support

You'll become part of a regular team, so continuity, reliability and building trust with the client are extremely important.

Full Specialist Clinical Training Provided

Our in-house clinical team and Registered Nurses will provide specialist training, competency assessment and ongoing clinical support relevant to the client's individual care package.

Training may include:

• Complex moving and handling
• Hoisting and specialist mobility equipment
• Medication support
• Recognising physical and emotional deterioration
• Communication support
• Person-centred risk management

You'll only carry out clinical tasks once you have received the appropriate training and been assessed as competent.

Why This Role Is Different

A GUARANTEED 36-HOUR CONTRACT

Homecare roles offering genuinely contracted hours like this aren't always easy to find.

With this position, you will benefit from:

• 36 guaranteed contracted hours every week
• Consistent hours and reliable earnings
• The opportunity to work with one dedicated client
• Greater continuity rather than travelling between multiple care calls
• A regular care team and established rota
• Paid specialist clinical training
• Ongoing support from our Registered Nurses and clinical team
• Free DBS check
• Enhanced bank holiday rates
• 24/7 Employee Assistance Programme
• Fully funded NVQs
• Career progression through our Rising Stars programme
• Award-winning training and development

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is compassionate and caring, but equally importantly, someone who can remain calm, observant and professional when supporting complex clinical needs.

Ideally, you'll have:

• A minimum of 6 months' hands-on care experience within a UK care setting or significant experience supporting a family member
• Confidence supporting someone with complex care needs
• A reliable and professional approach
• Strong observation skills and the confidence to escalate concerns
• Good written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to support someone who communicates non-verbally
• Confidence with moving and handling and providing personal care
• The ability to work 12 hour shifts
• A commitment to promoting independence, dignity, choice and person-centred care

Previous experience working with ABI and mental health are desired.

Important Eligibility Information

This position is open to female applicants only.

The role involves providing intimate personal care within a client's own home and meeting the client's individual privacy and dignity requirements.

The female-only requirement is applied as a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010, having regard to the nature and context of the care being provided.

Ready for Guaranteed Hours?
