Healthcare Assistant – Prospect@Home
Would you like to join a friendly, supportive and dedicated team? Are you passionate about providing the best possible care to patients with life limiting illnesses in their own homes? If so, we would love to hear from you.
The Prospect@Home team delivers a service that helps people who are living with a life-limiting illness stay in their own homes, if they wish to do so, as they approach the end of their lives. In this rewarding role, you will make a positive difference to people with end of life care needs in their own homes in your local area.
Hours: 30
The role will be a combination of days and nights. Night service hours are from 19:00 to 07:00 and long days from 07:00 to 19:00 (some flexibility around working split shifts in the day can be considered)
What is the role?
As a healthcare assistant in our Prospect@Home team you will deliver an exceptionally high standard of end-of-life care and emotional support, day and night, to patients and their families. You will provide person-centred care, including providing planned and urgently required personal care and emotional support.
Dependent on your skills and competencies, some more skilled clinical tasks may be required to be performed in patient’s homes.
You will have the support of an amazing team with opportunities to build and develop your career including educational courses to develop your skills.
The health care assistant role requires independent working in the community; you must be adaptable, reliable and highly organised in order to prioritise your workload effectively. Experience of working with people with long terms conditions or approaching the end of their life will be an advantage but not essential.
A demonstrable insight into palliative care is ideal and a sensitive communication style is essential
In this role you will be expected to rotate roles and work shifts on our inpatient unit and work flexibly across both teams as needed.
For more information or to have a chat about the roles on offer please contact Debbie Robson, Prospect@Home Team Leader on 07779 244781.
Interviews will take place on Thursday 19th March
Do you have?
• Minimum Level 2 in Health and Social Care/Care Certificate
• Relevant healthcare assistant experience
• Good verbal and written communication skills
• The ability to work independently in patients’ own homes
• The ability to plan and manage your own workload and activities
• A good awareness of your own limitations, and able to recognise the need for onward referral when needed
• Good IT skills
• A driving license and access to a car, prepared to travel throughout our defined catchment area (Swindon, Marlborough, Pewsey, Wootton Bassett, Lechlade, Fairford and Shrivenham).
It would also be great if you have:
• Level 3 in Health and Social Care
• End of life care experience
What’s it like it to work here?
“Working for Prospect@Home is fulfilling, you are part of a team that ‘cares & respects’ everyone. You feel valued & appreciated. You always receive support from every colleague, nothing is too much. It’s so rewarding to support end of life patients and their families in such a difficult time. I wouldn’t work anywhere else.”
Kerri, Prospect@Home Health Care Assistant
“I love that Prospect can not only offer care on the Inpatient Unit, but now we can take our knowledge and skills into the wider community and be there for our patients who wish to remain at home with their loved ones. I think we are a special team who are passionate about giving the loving care at the time when someone needs it the most. If this sounds like you then come join our Prospect Family”.

Equality & Diversity
We are committed to creating a truly equal and inclusive workplace, and we value diversity of thought, ability and individuality. Ours is a learning culture.

This applies to both service delivery and to our own people practices. You will be willing and able to demonstrate commitment to our equality, diversity and inclusion policy and practices at all times.
Safeguarding
Prospect Hospice is committed to promoting the wellbeing of all adults and children who use our services, ensuring that they live a life that is free from harm, abuse and neglect. We work in an open and transparent way and encourage staff, volunteers, patients and families to raise any safeguarding concerns.
We will review applications as they come in and therefore, we may close the vacancy before the closing date. Candidates are therefore advised to apply early.
