Job Description

An exciting opportunity has arisen for two Healthcare Assistants to join the Older People and Adult Community (OPAC) Intermediate Care Unit based in Peterborough.

The Intermediate Care Unit is currently a 34 bedded inpatient rehabilitation unit. Our unit is a joint Nurse/Therapy led facility. We have visiting Consultants and daily GP support. We provide short term rehabilitation for individuals from the age of 18 years who have had a change to their physical health. This may be due to an exacerbation of a pre-existing medical condition, an overall general deterioration in their abilities or acute cause.

Main duties will include:

  • Delivery of direct patient care, following our Trust policies and procedures.
  • Being responsive and respectful to patients, their families, and colleagues' needs.
  • Observing and reporting to a registered member of the team any changes which may indicate an alteration in the general well-being and safety of patients, including observations on patients' clinical condition.
  • Being aware of own limitations and knowing when to seek support and guidance.
  • Providing patients with personal care as required and demonstrating empathy, dignity, respect, and compassion at all times.
  • Being an active team player and working with patients, families, and members of the wider multi-disciplinary team.

Cambridgeshire & Peterborough NHS Foundation Trust is a health & social care organization dedicated to providing high quality care with compassion to improve the health & wellbeing of the people we care for, as well as supporting & empowering them to lead a fulfilling life.

Our clinical teams deliver many NHS services not only via inpatient and primary care settings but also within the community. These services include:

  • Children, Adult & Older Peoples mental & physical health
  • Forensic & Specialist mental health
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Primary Care & Liaison psychiatry
  • Substance misuse
  • Social care

To achieve our goal, we look to recruit high calibre candidates that share our vision & values. As an equal opportunities employer, we encourage applications from all sectors of the community, particularly from under-represented groups including disabled people & members of our ethnic minorities & LGBTQ+ communities.

Regrettably, we cannot offer sponsorship for all our job roles. If you apply for a role that we cannot offer sponsorship for, unfortunately, your application form will be rejected from the process.
