Working around Uxbridge
Hillingdon Hospital is the hospital local teams work alongside, and the homes and services around Uxbridge town centre and Hillingdon draw staff from the same pool. The Hillingdon Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust runs services locally, with Hillingdon Council commissioning the social care alongside them.
Most placements are in Uxbridge town centre, Uxbridge Moor and Hillingdon, with regular work further out at Hillingdon Heath, Cowley and Ickenham. Postings run through UB8 and UB10, including out at Harefield.
A typical shift
- ✓ 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
Shifts and contracts
Days, nights and weekends are all available, full time or part time. Someone covering Cowley on earlies and Ickenham on nights is an ordinary week here. The aim is ongoing work in settings you already know, not a different address every week between Uxbridge town centre and Yiewsley.
Some people stay on agency indefinitely; others use a few months around Hillingdon to find the right permanent home. Both are fine.
What you will need
- ✓Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as training is provided
- ✓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
