Designed by families, for families, The Ark was opened in September 2by the Mayor of London. The grounds offer wheelchair-accessible outdoor experiences, including a Woodland Walk through a 7-acre nature reserve, a hydrotherapy pool and overnight suites for families to be close to their loved ones. At The Ark we can provide Specialist Care and Nursing for babies, children and young people, supporting their full clinical, emotional, social and practical needs. We have created a space where seriously unwell children are accepted as they are, safe to play, explore, express themselves and build confidence.
Rated as ‘Outstanding’ by the Care Quality Commission, the charity has had a sustained period of growth over the last two years and we are looking for high-quality employees to come and be a part of that success.
Our expert staff and trained volunteers provide clinical, emotional, and practical support for families across North and Central London and Herts Valley. We carefully adapt our support for every child and offer it wherever it is required - whether in their home, their community or at our state-of-the-art children’s hospice building, The Ark, in Barnet.
As part of the Specialist Care Team, you will be required to facilitate clinical and holistic care to babies, children, and young people in our care. You will be required to work in our Woodlands inpatient unit, our families’ homes and in the community, delivering the highest quality family centred palliative care. You will need to be available to work a variety of shifts across a rota including days, evenings and weekends. There will also be regular travel across our operating region.
Specialist Carers provide care for children and young people with life-threatening and/or life-limiting conditions and support for their families and carers. This will involve working collaboratively with the family, and internal and external multidisciplinary teams and colleagues. You will use your skills, knowledge and expertise in a variety of situations within the hospice as well as out in the community and in family homes. You will be trained and competent to work as a lone worker in the community. Shift patterns will include a rotation of weekends, bank holidays, early morning/evening and night shifts, which are an integral part of the service delivery.
You will safeguard all children and young people accessing our services, by responding to concerns raised in a timely and appropriate manner and effectively escalating these in accordance with policies and procedures.
You will enjoy creating experiences, activities and play for those in your care, as well as working with your team to ensure their clinical needs are met.
You will understand and adhere to policies and procedures at all times, underpinned by competency in clinical skills, and will be supervised by a Senior Specialist Carer and/or Registered Nurse.
A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle for business use is essential to cover our wide geographical operating region.
As a valued member of Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, we will offer you free uniforms, free DBS, ongoing professional support and role specific training. Time for travel will be paid, including free car parking and a generous mileage allowance.
