About the Role

Paragon Home Healthcare is looking for female Health Care Assistants (HCAs) to support a young woman returning home after a long hospital stay. This is a unique opportunity to make a real difference by helping her transition safely and confidently into her home environment.

She lives with complex long-term conditions including chronic pancreatitis, hypermobility/Ehlers-Danlos features, chronic pain and neurodivergent needs. HCAs will work alongside a Registered Nurse during the day to provide practical and emotional support, ensuring care is delivered safely and consistently.

• Assisting with mobility and transfers
• Supporting bowel care routines under RN guidance
• Helping with personal care and daily living tasks
• Providing reassurance and calm, structured communication
