Healthcare Assistant (Home Care)
Are you a carer who wants to take your skills further? Dovida’s Enhanced Home Support Service helps people with spinal cord injuries and complex physical needs to live at home rather than in hospital or nursing homes. As a Home Healthcare Assistant on this team, you work with the same clients each week, get to know them well, and give the skilled support that makes life at home possible for them. You don’t need to be a specialist to start. We will train you, step by step, until you are. What we offer you Why this work matters Too many people with spinal cord injuries spend months in hospital and nursing homes simply because there are not enough trained carers near their home. This service exists to change that – and as part of this team, so do you. We are an equal opportunities employer and are committed to providing reasonable accommodation throughout the recruitment and selection process. If you require any adjustments, please let us know and we will work with you to support your application.
