Complex Care Assistant/Nurse for a lady in WF12 @£13/hr £156/shift (Days & Nights) - Dewsbury - WF12
Do you enjoy spending 1:1 time caring for others? Are you kind, caring, compassionate and friendly? Are you a student nurse, doctor, paramedic etc or newly qualified and want a chance to experience complex medical care including central lines? Do you enjoy new challenges including learning new skills? If so, please keep reading and apply!
I am a young lady living in Earlsheaton, Dewsbury. I live in an adapted bungalow and have very complex medical conditions, requiring skilled and dedicated complex care assistants to join my team. Despite my challenging conditions, it does not stop me from enjoying life to the fullest!
If you work for me, you will assist in all aspects of my daily life, including washing and dressing, basic domiciliary duties, meal prep, and more skilled tasks such as JEJ tubes, injections & syringe drivers, and assisting me in IV line care (training provided). You will also chat with me and partake in activities such as baking, knitting, fused glass making in my home kiln, and a myriad of other hobbies I enjoy.
Despite needing significant help, I like to try to have some independence. You will be trained in all aspects of the role, and I will guide you while performing tasks. There will be times when I am sleeping due to fatigue, and you will have some downtime; other times, I may want you to sit and watch TV or have a chat.
You will become part of a wider team of PAs. Previous PAs in this position have gained a range of new skills, both care/clinical and by me teaching you my hobbies such as knitting and baking.
This is a great position if you're looking for a highly varied role, wanting to provide that 1:1 support and make a difference in my life.
