Healthcare Assistant Job in Corby

Healthcare Assistant Job in Corby

Our Peterborough branch has several permanent Healthcare Assistant jobs in our friendly new team, working with nursing home and care home clients throughout the Corby area.

We are seeking dedicated individuals, confident in their ability to support the well-being and quality of life of every individual encountered. This could involve a range of day-to-day tasks including assisting with washing and dressing, meal times, personal care and enabling clients to participate in their favourite activities.

 In order to ensure you always have enough work, you should be willing to travel around the local surrounding areas. Due to rural client locations and shift times, public transport is not always readily available, therefore access to your own vehicle is desirable, but not essential.

If you’re looking for flexible day, night or weekend shifts and the chance to choose your own rota with the added support of a permanent contract, guaranteed hours and a local line manager, this is the job for you!

Benefits of being a Newcross Healthcare Assistant:

• Salary up to £11.96/hr including holiday pay
• Agreed mileage payments for most clients
• Free uniform & training through credits earned as you work
• Criminal record check (DBS) cost refunded after initial joining period
• Recommend a Friend scheme paying up to £500 per successful referral
• Online area and smartphone app to manage your availability, bookings and payslips
• Local line manager and branch support team
• 24-hour support contact centre, open 365 days a year

We take pride in the quality of our care, so we’re looking for experienced individuals with a genuine, caring approach as well as the skills to deliver person-centred care.

To apply for this position you will need the following:

• Right to live and work in the UK
• At least 3 months’ previous paid experience working in a care environment in the UK within the last 3 years
• Referee contact details for your current place of work, including a manager who can comment on your clinical ability, and for all employments in the past 18 months or your 3 most recent jobs

• A certificate confirming your participation in a practical moving and handling course in the last 12 months, or be willing to book onto a Newcross course

If you have an NVQ2 / SVQ2 in Health and Social Care, or currently work in a care assistant job, you could be fast tracked through our recruitment process.
