Summary

Colleagues working within our Hospice at Home (HaH) team cover a wide geographical area, from Tydd St Giles in the North of the county down to Royston in the South, and everywhere in between. Although these roles are allocated to our South team (Cambridge) base, colleagues work flexibly as one team in order to meet patient needs wherever they may be. For this reason, we are pleased to offer mileage expense rates in excess of HMRC as well as a lease car option. Whilst every effort is made to allocate patients close to where you live, this is not always possible we ask all of our colleagues to be flexible and attend patients wherever they are located. The successful candidate will have previous experience working as a Healthcare Assistant within a hospital or community setting. Due to the requirements of the role candidates must also have a valid driving license and access to a vehicle for work purposes. Please note that, this role is subject to an Enhanced DBS check with Adult and Child Barred lists. Starting salary of £25,760 with opportunities to progress to £27,476. Please note that the salary quoted is based on full time hours and will be pro-ratad for part time posts. As a Charity with limited funds, it is usual practice for new starters to commence on the minimum of the salary band for the role. Exceptionally, and only for candidates demonstrating significant strengths relevant to the role, may we be able to negotiate on this. We will be reviewing applications and interviewing on a rolling basis; therefore we may close this advert before the stated closing date if we receive sufficient applications. We are a Disability Confident employer, and welcome applications from candidates with disabilities. If you would like support to apply, please contact the HR Team by email careers@arhc.org.ukand we will be happy to help. Arthur Rank Hospice Charity does not hold a sponsor license; therefore, we are unable to offer sponsorship to individuals who do not currently have the right to work in the UK, or that require sponsorship as a condition of an existing visa. We are committed to inclusivity, respect, fairness, engagement and equality of opportunity for our patients and their families, our staff and trustees, our volunteers and our supporters. We value the strength that comes with difference and the positive contribution that diversity brings to our community. Therefore, candidates with a disability that meet the minimum criteria will be guaranteed an interview. We are also working to increase diversity throughout the organisation, and we particularly welcome applications from BAME people who are currently under-represented. Arthur Rank Hospice Charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults who draw on care and support and expects all colleagues and volunteers to share this commitment.
