We are a responsive and innovative Foundation Trust that places our values of Caring, Safe and Excellent at the heart of everything we do. We take great pride in our staff and believe that investing in you is key to us achieving our vision of outstanding care delivered by outstanding people.

We work with a wide range of partner organisations to deliver care and support to people in their own homes and from a number of hospitals and community bases. We focus on delivering care as close to home as possible.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual who has relevant experience and are educated to NVQ level 3 in Health and social care or a willingness to undertake the Band 3 apprenticeship programme whilst in post, to work with our Community Nursing Team in the North east of the county (Kidlington/Bicester) as a Health Care Assistant.

The Health Care Assistant role includes caring for patients in community settings, including residential homes and their own homes and will deliver clinical planned care, for example venepuncture, simple wound dressings, pressure area care, measuring and recording vital signs, blood glucose monitoring and catheter care.

The successful applicant will be working as part of the District Nurse Team but will need to work flexibly across the locality so access to a car is essential for this role.
