Role Summary

We currently have exciting opportunities to join our Specialist Nursing Home wards at RHN as Health Care Assistants.

We provide high-quality, person-centred support tailored to each individual’s needs, including complex clinical care, alongside assistance with communication, behavioural support, and daily living. Our focus is on promoting dignity, independence, and quality of life within a safe, nurturing, and supportive environment.
