At Thornbury Community Services, we believe everyone deserves the chance to live life to the fullest. We’re looking for healthcare assistants who want to make a real difference - helping people with complex health needs remain at home, maintain independence, and enjoy the things that matter most to them.
Your role goes beyond practical care. You’ll build trust with individuals and their families, create safe environments, and empower people to take trips, reconnect with hobbies, and thrive in their own community. Every shift is an opportunity to change a life.
Why This Role Matters
Joining Thornbury means being part of something bigger - giving people the chance to live with dignity, choice, and joy despite complex health needs.
We’re looking for compassionate, confident carers to support an adult female in her home and local community. If you enjoy lively environments, friendly dogs, and being part of a close family setting, this role will feel right at home.
You’ll receive full training and ongoing support to develop advanced clinical skills, including tracheostomy and ventilator management. Once trained, you’ll work allocated shifts that allow you to build confidence and take the lead in delivering exceptional care.
Your day‑to‑day support will include community outings, shopping trips, and visits to the day center — helping our client stay active, connected, and independent. As the home is not easily accessible by public transport, you must be able to drive your own vehicle to and from shifts. A valid driving license is essential, as you will also drive the client’s automatic mobility vehicle as part of your daily duties.
If you’re ready to bring your skills, energy, and kindness to a role that truly changes lives, we’d love to welcome you to the team.
What We’re Looking For
We’re seeking healthcare assistants who are:
· Compassionate and resilient, with a genuine passion for person-centered care.
· Experienced in UK care (minimum 12 months).
· Skilled in key areas such as:
- Exposure to clinical complex care
- Personal care
- Manual handling
Your Benefits as a TCS Healthcare Assistant
We value our team and offer a package designed to support your career and wellbeing:
· 24/7 Support: Clinical and operational teams available whenever you need them.
· Employee Assistance Programme: Round-the-clock wellbeing support.
· Upskilling & Training: Access refresher courses and specialist practical training. Shadow shifts and sign offs from a qualified nurse.
