Diabetes Care for You are looking for a Healthcare Assistant to work as part of their community multidisciplinary team, supporting excellent diabetes care to the population of Brighton and Hove and High Weald, Lewes and the Havens.

We are looking for an individual with good organisational and communication skills, and the ability to both work under their own initiative and follow directions.

Our ideal candidate will be forward-thinking, motivated, and enthusiastic about working with people and providing personalised care. Whilst we welcome applicants who have an NVQ in healthcare, not having a recognised qualification should not be a barrier to applying. It is your experience and willingness to learn that we value.

The community diabetes service is a multidisciplinary team which includes Consultants, Diabetes Specialist Nurses, Dietitians, Podiatrists and Psychotherapists. Its aim is to improve health outcomes for people at risk of diabetes or who have a diagnosis of diabetes, and to meet the needs of the growing diabetes population across Brighton and Hove, and High Weald, Lewes and the Havens, both by providing interventions to people with diabetes and by increasing the level of skills and knowledge within primary care.

The goal of the service is to enable patients to access education, information, advice and support to help them to make informed choices about how to manage their condition, so that they can stay as well as possible for as long as possible, and reduce their risk of diabetes-related complications. Joint care planning and goal setting will be a core focus of the new delivery model, with patients in control and empowered to self-manage their health.

Applicants must be car drivers, and have access to their own vehicle and business insurance.

This post may close earlier than the published closing date if sufficient applications are received.
