About evolve

We're a specialist provider of complex care for children and adults in their own homes. Our clients include those with acquired brain injuries, physical disabilities and sensory impairments.

Our goal is to improve the lives of those in our care whilst making work a better place for our nurses and carers.

The role

You'll be supporting a young lady with complex health needs in her own home in Birkenhead in her local community. Our client loves attending her drama group, going shopping and getting out and about as much as possible.

Our client is a wheelchair user, and you'll support her with personal care and hygiene, medication, nutrition and medication. A Lead Nurse will be overseeing our client's care along with her Mum, so there will always be somebody available to support you or answer any questions you may have.

Requirements

What we'd like:

  • Experience in caring for a patient / client with complex health needs
  • Car driver with access to your own vehicle

What we'd love:

  • Warm and friendly care professionals
  • Good people who enjoy caring for others
  • Punctuality and reliability

Training

This includes a combination of e-learning and classroom-based training, followed by job-shadowing and "hands-on" training by a Lead Nurse. We operate a 24hr clinical on-call to provide round-the-clock support to our clients and their care teams.

What's it like working here?

Evolve is managed and owned by local people, not corporate boards or hedge funds. We're human beings who care not just for our clients, but our people. We'll treat you with dignity and respect. Like a human, not a number. We'll listen to and act on your feedback to try our very best to make going to work as pleasant, rewarding and fulfilling as we can.

Best of luck with your application we look forward to hearing from you!
