Healthcare Support Worker

Job description

The service operates 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so the role involves working a rota that includes days, nights, weekends, and bank holidays. We are committed to supporting flexible working arrangements wherever possible. As this is a community-based post, the role involves travel between family homes. Applicants must therefore hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle with business insurance cover. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to children, young people, and their families while developing your skills within a supportive and dynamic service. We are seeking caring, fun, resilient, and motivated individuals to work alongside a specialist team of professionals supporting children with complex needs.

The role involves delivering high-quality clinical care within the family home, building positive relationships with both children and parents, and working effectively as part of a team while also being confident to work independently.

You will provide a range of engaging and hands‐on care, including personal hygiene support, administering medications, delivering tube feeds, moving and handling, and most importantly enabling children to play, have fun, and thrive in their own homes. The work is varied, rewarding, and offers opportunities to develop your clinical knowledge and practical skills, with progression available to a Band 4 Associate Practitioner for those who wish to advance.

This is a cross‐service role, offering the chance to work collaboratively across other clinical teams, including Hannah House, Specialist Inclusion Learning Centres, and the Children's Nursing Team, providing a rich and supportive learning environment.

Although this is a clinical role, previous clinical experience is not essential. Experience working with children is beneficial, and full training will be provided. You will be well supported by an experienced and skilled team of nurses, enabling you to develop confidence and competence in your role.

Working for Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, Leeds Community Healthcare provides a range of community-based health services across the whole city. We treat people in their homes, local health centres and community hospitals, and work in partnership with other local Trusts, charities and Leeds City Council. We have a strong culture based on deeply‐held values, and our focus at all times is on delivering high quality care to the people of Leeds. In our most recent CQC evaluation, we were rated "Good", with our Adult Services rated 'Outstanding' for caring.
