The Role

This role is part of our Community Hospice at Home Service, which delivers compassionate, end-of-life care to people in their own homes during the final weeks of life. You don't need formal medical experience to apply - just a caring nature, compassion, and a genuine desire to help and support others at the end of their lives. Full training and support will be provided.


As a Community Hospice at Home Health Care Assistant, you will:

Provide care and support to patients, families and carers at home. Be able to work alone with guidance and support from Hospice at Home nurses. Support the nursing team such as speaking with other healthcare providers and making appointments. Work closely with hospice colleagues and community partners to deliver joined-up care. Champion the Rennie Grove Peace philosophy in the local community. Develop your skills within HCA knowledge and competency framework, with full support provided. Drive between appointments, therefore a car and full driving licence are essential for this role.


If successful, you'll join on the first working Monday of the month so we can best support you with our structured induction programme.
