Care Assistant

Join Ocean Healthcare’s Complex Care Team in and around Plymouth – Specialist Training Provided

Ocean Healthcare is looking for confident, compassionate Care Assistants to support infants and children in their own homes across Plymouth and the surrounding areas. You don’t need previous paediatric experience - just a solid background in care, a calm and reassuring approach and a willingness to complete our specialist training.

We have a variety of weekend shifts, with part-time contracts available.

Who do we support?

In this role you could be working with children of all ages from infants through to older children. Care can be provided on both 1:1 and 2:1 basis. Complex Care with children can cover a wide range of things including epilepsy, enteral feeding, trachy/vented, medication management, catheter/bowel/stoma and moving & handing. We can give you a better idea of what you might be doing when we speak to you.

You’ll be fully prepared for your role through face-to-face training delivered by our nurse-led team and expert Trainers. We tailor your training to the specific needs of the service users you’ll be supporting. This will give you the confidence and skills needed to make a real difference.

Pay Rates & Shifts:

Shifts mostly vary between 4 and 12 hours. DAY and NIGHT shifts available. We'll work with you to match you and your availability to the children whom we are supporting.

Pay Rates range from £13.00-£18.55 per hour. Rates vary by shift type (day/night/weekend) and by complexity.
