Where the work is in Basingstoke
North Hampshire Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Chineham and Brighton Hill draw staff from the same pool. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Hampshire County Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Chineham, Old Basing and Brighton Hill, with regular work further out at Popley, South Ham and Buckskin. Postings run through RG21, RG22 and RG23, including out at Hatch Warren.
The job day to day
- ✓ Helping people wash, dress and stay comfortable
- ✓ Supporting with meals, drinks and nutrition
- ✓ Assisting with mobility and safe moving and handling
- ✓ Taking and recording clinical observations under supervision
- ✓ Companionship, conversation and keeping people connected
- ✓ Reporting changes and keeping clear records
When you would work
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering South Ham on earlies and Buckskin on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Chineham and Kempshott.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Brighton Hill to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
Before you apply
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
- ✓The right to work in the UK
- ✓A caring, patient and reliable approach
- ✓Good spoken and written communication
- ✓Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as training is provided
