Hounslow and the area we cover
West Middlesex University Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Hounslow Central and Isleworth draw staff from the same pool. Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Hounslow Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Hounslow Central, Hounslow West and Isleworth, with regular work further out at Brentford, Chiswick and Feltham. Postings run through TW3, TW4 and TW5, including out at Cranford.
What you would be doing
- ✓ 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
- ✓ Supporting with meals, drinks and nutrition
- ✓ Assisting with mobility and safe moving and handling
Shifts, and how they are booked
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Chiswick on earlies and Feltham on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Hounslow Central and Heston.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Isleworth to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What we look for
- ✓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
- ✓An enhanced DBS check, which we can arrange
