Role

As a people person, you will enjoy meeting and supporting a diverse range of people of all ages.

To work with us as a Complex Care Assistant, you'll need to have at least 6 months of hands-on care experience in a UK care setting - this helps us make sure you're confident and ready to support our clients with more advanced needs.

The Complex Care Assistant Role at Alcedo Care involves delivering high-quality, person-centred support to individuals with complex health needs, including spinal injuries, respiratory conditions, and neurological disorders. You’ll be fully supported with expert training and competency sign-off from our in-house team of Registered Nurses and our training team, giving you the confidence to excel in your role. From specialist care such as PEG and tracheostomy support to assisting with medication, mobility, meal preparation, and household tasks, you’ll develop skills that truly make a difference. More than clinical care, this is about empowering independence and creating moments of joy - changing lives every single day.

We would love you to apply if you have tracheostomy experience, or a minimum of 6 months care experience. Shifts are flexible where possible and we have opportunities for short shifts or 12-hour shifts days or nights.
