Job summary
Are you a compassionate, dedicated Healthcare Assistant looking for a role where your care makes a meaningful difference every day? Join our community team covering central and south Oxfordshire, including Oxford city in providing personalised end-of-life care to people in the comfort of their own homes.
Bring your passion for person-centred care and make a real difference to people and families when they need it most. Join us - we would love to hear from you.
Main duties of the job
In this role, you will work as part of a multidisciplinary team, helping people feel safe, comfortable and respected at a highly important time in their lives. You will support individual care plans by assisting with personal care, skin integrity, nutrition and hydration, mobility, rest and sleep, and maintaining a clean and safe care environment.
You will also play an important part in observing and responding to changes in a persons condition, supporting symptom management within the agreed care plan, and escalating any concerns promptly to registered healthcare professionals. You will communicate calmly and sensitively with patients and loved ones, preserving dignity, choice and wellbeing.
About us
Marie Curie is the UKs leading end-of-life charity. We are the largest non-NHS provider of end-of-life care in the UK, the only provider across all 4 nations, delivering community nursing and hospice care across the country, while providing information and support on all aspects of dying, death, and bereavement. Our leading research pushes the boundaries of what we know about good end-of-life, and our campaigns fight for a world where everyone gets to have the best possible quality of life while living with an illness, they are likely to die from.
The care and support we provide is highly valued by the people we care for and their loved ones, but at present we are only reaching around 10% of dying people at the end of life.Right now, one in four people in the UK with a terminal illness, do not get the care or support they deserve at the end of their lives.
We want a different society than the one we live in now. Our mission for the next five years is to close the gap in the number of people missing out on what they need at the end-of-life.

Radiology Nurse - Band 5
Part time 15 hours per week. Permanent post.
Are you ready to try a different aspect of nursing? An opportunity has arisen within Radiology at Royal Bolton Hospital for a motivated and enthusiastic registered nurse who would like to be part of an innovative, patient focussed pro-active team and develop new skills.
Whilst previous experience in supporting clinicians undertaking procedures is desirable, it is not essential. Your development is our priority and we will support you as you get to grips with our state-of-the-art technology and equipment, and wide range of procedures that are undertaken in radiology, such as Vascular Angiography/angioplasty and stenting, Embolisation, Hysterosalpingogram (HSG), Nephrostomy,Ultrasound and CT biopsy and drainages.
The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we aren't in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.
Main duties of the job
- Monitoring for patients undergoing interventional procedures.
- Scrubbing for Radiologists and Advanced Practitioners performing interventional procedures.
- Patient care.
- Stock assistance.
- Cleaning and decontamination duties.
- Booking patients for interventional procedures.
- Multidisciplinary working.
About us
This post is open to external candidates as well as those who may already work within the Trust.
Bolton Foundation Trust strives to be a great place to work and has many opportunities for development and benefits such as our Vivup employee benefits programme for discounts on a wide variety of items.
