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, providing specialist 1-2-1 care for clients with complex health needs.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced and compassionate Complex Care Assistant to support a young person in Liverpool who is living with a brain injury. This is a 1-2-1 role in the client's own home and out in the community, supporting them to live as full and independent a life as possible.
This is a set weekly commitment — one shift every Saturday from 09:30 to 18:30.
What You'll Be Doing
• Providing dedicated 1-2-1 support to a young person with an acquired brain injury
• Supporting with personal care, daily routines, and clinical needs as outlined in the care plan
• Driving the client to activities and appointments, supporting them to access the community safely
• Monitoring and responding to changes in the client's condition
• Following detailed care plans created by our clinical team
• Building a consistent, trusting relationship with the client and their family
• Maintaining accurate care records and documentation
What We're Looking For
Essential:
• Extensive experience supporting individuals with brain injuries — this is a specialist role and we need someone who understands the complexities involved
• Female (genuine occupational requirement under the Equality Act 2010)
• A full valid UK driving licence and access to a car for work — you will be driving the client
• The right to work in the UK without needing employer support
• Experience working with children or young people is highly desirable
• Reliable, patient, and able to commit to every Saturday
• A warm, engaging approach — this is about supporting a young person's quality of life, not just meeting clinical needs
Desirable:
• NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Health and Social Care
• Experience working with adolescents with neurological conditions
• Understanding of rehabilitation and neuro-behavioural support
What We Offer
• Specialist complex care training through the Routes Academy programme
• Dedicated clinical on-call team available 24/7
• Regular clinical supervision and competency assessments
• Wellbeing and mental health support
• Staff referral scheme with generous incentives (up to £250 per referral)
• You'll work alongside employed Routes care workers only — we don't use agency staff
