About Harmony Healthcare
At Harmony Healthcare, we believe exceptional care begins with exceptional people. We are committed to providing high-quality, person-centred care that enables individuals and families to receive the support they need in the comfort of their own homes.
We are currently recruiting experienced Paediatric Complex Care Healthcare Assistants to support an 8-month-old baby girl with complex clinical needs in the Crawley area.
This is an excellent opportunity for a compassionate and clinically confident HCA with paediatric complex care experience who is looking to make a meaningful difference to a young child's life.
The Role
You will provide dedicated overnight care, supporting the child's clinical needs, comfort and safety. The package involves:

- Gastrostomy stoma care.
- Medication administration via PEGJ.
- Aspiration risk management.
- Nebuliser administration, following appropriate training and assessment.
- Monitoring the child's condition and reporting any changes promptly.
The child's parents currently manage intermittent catheterisation. There may be an opportunity for trained care staff to support this in the future, subject to appropriate training and competency assessment.
Essential Skills and Experience
To be considered, you must have relevant paediatric complex care experience, including:
- Tracheostomy care and tracheostomy changes.
- Airway suctioning.
- PEGJ feeding and medication administration.
- Gastrostomy stoma care.
- Supporting children with complex respiratory and feeding needs.
You must be confident, reliable and attentive, with a strong understanding of safe clinical practice and the importance of delivering care in line with individual care plans.
