Day Shifts | Weekdays and Weekends

Cura Vita Complex Care Group is looking for experienced, compassionate and reliable Complex Care Support Workers to join a community-based care team supporting an adult with physical and complex care needs in the Norwich area.

This is an opportunity to provide consistent, person-centred support in someone's own home, helping them maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life.

We're particularly interested in candidates with experience in spinal injury care, bowel care and medication administration, although relevant experience in other complex care settings would also be welcomed.

About the Role

You'll provide practical, respectful and person-centred support, working both independently and alongside another Support Worker where two-person assistance is required.

Your responsibilities may include:

• Providing safe, compassionate and individualised care
• Supporting personal care while maintaining dignity and privacy
• Assisting with bowel care in accordance with individual care plans and assessed competencies
• Supporting medication administration where appropriately trained and authorised
• Supporting an individual with spinal injury-related care needs
• Following moving and handling guidance where required
• Recognising changes in health or wellbeing and escalating concerns appropriately
• Following care plans, risk assessments and agreed procedures
• Maintaining accurate daily care records
• Working collaboratively with colleagues and the wider care team
• Building a positive, consistent and respectful working relationship with the person you support

Working Hours

We have a range of daytime shifts available across the week.

Weekday shifts include:

• 8:30am–10:30am
• 8:30am–12:00pm
• 8:30am–4:00pm
• 8:30am–8:30pm

Weekend shifts include:

• 9:00am–10:30am
• 9:00am–12:30pm
• 9:00am–3:00pm

Some morning visits require two Support Workers working together to provide safe, appropriate care.

We're particularly interested in candidates who can offer consistent availability, including some weekends.

Exact shifts and hours will be discussed during the recruitment process.
