About Us
Routes Healthcare is a leading complex care provider - we are a care company, not an agency. We're real people who put individual healthcare needs first. We support people in their own homes (not in care homes), providing specialist 1-2-1 care for clients with complex health needs.
About the Role
This is a complex care position - you'll be providing dedicated, specialist care to clients with long-term complex health conditions in their own homes.
What You'll Be Doing:
Specialist Complex Care:
Supporting clients with tracheostomy care, ventilation support, and respiratory needs
Managing complex medication regimens and clinical observations
Providing personal care with dignity and respect for clients with physical disabilities
Supporting clients with PEG feeding and nutritional management
Monitoring and responding to changes in client condition
Working closely with healthcare professionals and families
Your Role:
Providing 1-2-1 care in the client's own home
Working solo or as part of a 2-person team on double-up care packages
Following detailed care plans created by our clinical team
Maintaining accurate care records and clinical documentation
Communicating effectively with clients, families, and the wider care team
We provide complex care across Chester and the surrounding areas - speak to our recruitment team to discuss packages available.
What Makes Complex Care Different:
Unlike standard homecare, you'll be working with clients who have significant clinical needs requiring enhanced skills and training. This includes supporting people with:
Long-term ventilation and tracheostomy care
Neurological conditions requiring specialist positioning and care
Life-limiting conditions requiring palliative and end-of-life care
Complex physical disabilities requiring moving and handling expertise
All focused on supporting each individual's lifestyle and wellbeing while managing their clinical needs safely and effectively.
We are committed to making lives better 24 hours a day, 7 days a week - not only for the people we support but their loved ones and family members too.

Consistent shift patterns with the same client(s)
Range of shifts available Monday to Sunday (weekend availability required)
