Complex Care HCA – Barnstaple | Full-Time Contracts Available

Ocean Healthcare is looking for calm, confident and committed carers to join our Complex Care Team in Barnstaple, supporting adults with complex needs in their own homes and in the community.

We have day shifts available, with full-time contracts available.

Who do we support?

You will be supporting adults with a range of complex care and mental health needs, working closely with families and our nurse-led clinical team to provide safe, consistent, person-centred care.

In Barnstaple, support may include individuals living with:

• Functional Neurological Disorder (FND)

• Autism

• Mental health challenges

Every package is different. We will always talk you through what support looks like before you start, so you have a clear understanding of the role.

Training & Support

You’ll be fully prepared for your role with face-to-face training delivered by our nurse-led team and specialist trainers. Training is tailored to the individuals you’ll be supporting, so you feel confident, supported and clinically safe from day one.

Ongoing support and development are part of how we work - you’re never left to figure things out on your own.

Pay Rates & Shifts:

• Competitive hourly rates (dependent on shift type and complexity)

• Full-time contracts available

Shifts are available throughout the week. We'll work with you to match you and your availability to the individuals we are supporting.

Pay Rates range from £13.70-£17.55 per hour.

Our current availability includes a mix of long days and shorter shifts across the week. To give you a feel for what’s available, here are some example shift patterns:

• Monday - Saturday: 07:00 – 22:00

• Sunday: 08:30 – 20:30

• Monday, Wednesday & Friday: 11:00 – 15:00

Why Join Us?

We're not afraid to say we're a little bit old fashioned. We believe in treating people right, providing great quality care and being proud of what we do. When you work with us, you’re part of a supportive, professional and highly regarded team. Our philosophy is Live Happy Care Well. Check out OceanHealthcareUK on Facebook to find out more about us!
