Complex Care Assistant (Waking Nights)

Hourly Pay:£13.50 – £14.91

Location: Clacton

Shift: Monday- Sunday nights 9pm-8am

As a Sonderwell Complex Care Assistant, you can make a real difference to people’s lives, by caring for their complex needs and enabling them to live the life they choose. You’ll join a supportive team, that’ll provide all the training and development you need to support your client, helping you get the most out of this rewarding and fulfilling role.

Everyone is different. That’s the simple truth at the core of our approach to care. And the care opportunities we offer are different, too, from taking clients to medical appointments or helping them get up in the morning, to spending a full twelve hours helping them through their day. Whatever you choose, you’ll be there to look after that person’s unique needs.

What’s hugely important is your ability to build a connection with the people you’re caring for. And, of course, you’ll need to be able to handle the physical aspects, too. As part of the role, you will be required to have experience in the following:

Peg feeding

Oral suctioning

Tracheostomy care

Tracheal suctioning

Oxygen therapy

Personal care

This individual lives at home with his family and beloved dog. He enjoys watching his favourite television series and movies, as well as writing online blogs and reviews. He is a big fan of wrestling shows and stars, but he understands if others don\’t share his passion and is willing to educate them. This young man requires assistance to live his daily life in a way that promotes independence and autonomy. A well-established team of carers is currently in place, and they are seeking a new staff member to complete the team. During the night, there is time for staff to relax and engage in conversation with him while he writes and prepares for bed. If you are seeking a caregiving role that is enjoyable and filled with light-hearted banter, please consider applying.

If you have the patience and flexibility to meet people on their level, we’ll support you in providing the care they deserve.

Being a Sonderwell carer isn’t just about caring. It’s about being good with people, too – being able to gain the trust of clients and their families. That’s why, if you have a caring personality and some relevant experience, we’ll give you access to online and classroom training in specific complex care needs, as well as the chance to study for a relevant NVQ.

Depending on the client, you may be working on your own or part of a team. If you wish and have the availability, you could provide to support more than one client.

Before you start, you’ll have the chance to meet your client and their family. And when you do, you’ll have day-to-day support with a Care Co-ordinator or Nurse Manager always on hand to answer your questions. You’ll also be able to access our ‘Carer App’ which is a fantastic source of insight and information. In short, we’ll give you all you need to get the most out of this rewarding and fulfilling role.

Each of our clients has individual needs, so whether you’re looking for full-time or part-time hours, night shifts or day shifts, we can offer an opportunity to suit you. We’re continuously developing our benefits package to help you get more out of your role with Sonderwell. What’s more, if you recommend someone who joins us, you could also receive a referral payment. And our employee assistance programme means you’ll have access to support that is focused on your well-being.

We believe that diversity in our workforce drives excellence, and we work hard to create an environment that reflects the diverse communities we serve.
