Make every moment matter!

We’re looking for Bank Healthcare Assistants to provide hands-on, person-centred care and emotional support to patients and families when it matters most.

Hospice experience is a real advantage, but it’s not essential — bring your compassion, curiosity, and willingness to learn, and support will be provided.

Your role will include:

  • Supporting with personal care and daily living needs
  • Helping patients feel comfortable, safe and cared for
  • Providing emotional support to patients and their loved ones
  • Working closely with nurses and the wider team to deliver the highest quality care
  • Creating a calm, compassionate and reassuring environment

What we offer

This role involves working as and when needed, including:

  • Nights
  • Weekends
  • Bank holidays

We warmly welcome informal visits so you can experience our environment and meet the team. Please call Claire Clark (Ward Manager) on 01726 65711.

Apply today and join a team dedicated to making a real difference for patients and families.

“My friend was nursed so well, and had every attention during his last days.  He twice asked me; who is paying for all this? and couldn’t believe it was free.  What a wonderful world it would be if everyone had access to this standard of care.”
