Care Assistant

What you'll do

A compassionate and reliable professional care worker is sought to support a young boy with complex disabilities in the Newton Hall area of Durham. You will work in the family home, where he lives with his parents and siblings.

Due to his medical condition, the client requires full support and constant monitoring. Key duties will include providing tracheostomy care, assisting with PEG feeding for some of his nutrition, administering medication, and offering personal care. Given his limited mobility, he requires full assistance with positioning, and you will use various equipment, including a ceiling hoist, to help with this. While he is non-verbal, he communicates through subtle gestures that, once understood, allow you to recognise his needs and feelings.

This is a rewarding role for someone who is professional, empathetic, and dedicated to providing high-quality care.

What we’re looking for:

You don’t need any care experience to apply for this role, just plenty of care, compassion and resilience as we provide full nurse-led training.

Here’s what makes us different:

• Free DBS check – we cover the full cost of the DBS application
• Full training & paid induction - no experience needed
• Career growth - clear progression into senior & leadership roles
• Family-friendly - enhanced leave for life’s big moments
• National opportunities - relocate and continue your career within CCH
• Perks & discounts - Blue Light Card, RAF scheme, and more
