<h2>Job summary</h2>
  <p>We are looking for an experienced Band 3 HCA to work within a busy community team. The post is based in Crewe, working within Crewe Care Community.</p>
<p>The role includes caring for patients who are approaching the end of life. The post holder will undertake clinical tasks as delegated by the Community Nurse team and within sphere of competency.</p>
<p>You will be working without close supervision, and will therefore need to use your own initiative, whilst following the patient's care plan. You must also be passionate about making a difference to people's lives, helping them to live as well as possible and to die with dignity.</p>
<p>As well as being able to work independently, you will possess good time management and organizational skills and be expected to be innovative and flexible to work in other areas - if required - to meet service need.</p>

  <h3>Main duties of the job</h3>
  <p>Your role will include delivering a range of nursing interventions to patients in their own homes. This includes wound care, phlebotomy, medication administration and risk assessments.</p>
<p>You will be adaptable, reliable and approachable, and will be expected to support your peers, the team leader and the organisation in promoting the Trusts Values and Behaviours.</p>
<p>Please note whilst your main base will be in Crewe, you may be required to work across the footprint of Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership.</p>
<p>Travel is an essential part of this role; please demonstrate on your application form how you would meet this requirement.</p>
