Can you help Hertfordshire care homes? Hertfordshire Care Providers Association (HCPA) are looking for very experienced Care home Managers, or nurses who have management experience within a care home to be on our bank of staff to support care homes in emergency COVID related situations.
This could involve providing emergency support in COVID positive homes. A care setting could require one shift or up to two weeks of support to ensure the residents receive the highest quality of care possible and to ensure everything continues to run smoothly.
Many care providers currently need some extra help, whether this is by hiring temporary Care Assistants when staff are off work isolating or by hiring volunteers. Sometimes the management is also required to isolate, and this is where your help is needed to step in.
Pay: £33 per hour
Shifts: Day, night or both. You will likely be with one provider for up to 2 weeks at a time.
Setting: Primarily care homes, nursing homes, supported living setting or domiciliary care providers could also need additional support.
