We are CCH. With 14,000 colleagues across 32 care companies, we have one purpose: to make sure no one in need of care is ever forgotten or left behind. We’re not only changing lives, we’re transforming the care sector. Our people-first approach puts care professionals at the centre of everything we do. Our goal is simple: to be the best place to work in care.

What makes CCH a great place to work? The results speak for themselves:

• 5,243 care professionals have referred a friend to join our company.
• 135 internal promotions were earned in just 12 months
• Every Operational Director began their career as a care professional

At Advantage Healthcare, part of CCH, we live by our values of Community, Courage, and Heart, and we’re looking for like-minded people to join our growing Complex Care team in Durham.

What you'll do

A compassionate and reliable professional care worker is sought to support a young boy with complex disabilities in the Newton Hall area of Durham. You will work in the family home, where he lives with his parents and siblings.

Due to his medical condition, the client requires full support and constant monitoring. Key duties will include providing tracheostomy care, assisting with PEG feeding for some of his nutrition, administering medication, and offering personal care. Given his limited mobility, he requires full assistance with positioning, and you will use various equipment, including a ceiling hoist, to help with this. While he is non-verbal, he communicates through subtle gestures that, once understood, allow you to recognise his needs and feelings.

This is a rewarding role for someone who is professional, empathetic, and dedicated to providing high-quality care.

What we’re looking for:

You don’t need any care experience to apply for this role, just plenty of care, compassion and resilience as we provide full nurse-led training.

Here’s what makes us different:

• Free DBS check – we cover the full cost of the DBS application
• Full training & paid induction - no experience needed
• Career growth - clear progression into senior & leadership roles
• Family-friendly - enhanced leave for life’s big moments
• National opportunities - relocate and continue your career within CCH
• Perks & discounts - Blue Light Card, RAF scheme, and more
