Bury St Edmunds and the area we cover
West Suffolk Hospital anchors a good deal of the health provision around Moreton Hall and Northgate, and the settings we recruit for sit close to it. Suffolk County Council commissions much of the care in the area, and West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust runs the clinical side.
We fill posts in Moreton Hall, Northgate, Southgate and Westgate and out towards Fornham, Great Barton and Horringer. IP28 and IP33 come up most often, and work extends through Suffolk.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Helping people wash, dress and stay comfortable
Shifts, and how they are booked
You set your availability. Plenty of the people we place around Fornham work three or four shifts and keep the rest of the week their own. Most people settle into a handful of regular services, often within a few miles of Southgate.
Agency and permanent are both on offer. Picking up shifts in two or three services around Northgate is a low-risk way to find out where you want to be.

- ✓Good spoken and written communication
- ✓Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as training is provided
