The Health Care Assistant will support patients and nursing staff within the Oasis Unit, helping provide safe, compassionate and person-centred care. Duties may include assisting with personal care, nutrition, mobility, observations, comfort, activities and maintaining a clean, safe environment.

Previous care experience is helpful but equivalent life or workplace experience may be considered.

Appropriate pre-employment checks, references and occupational health clearance will be required.

The United Kingdom offers extensive opportunities in healthcare, technology, engineering, education, finance, hospitality and public services. NHS roles are available nationwide, although competition and living costs are highest in London and the South East. British culture is diverse, generally polite and multicultural, with strong traditions in sport, music, literature and community life. Lifestyle varies from busy cities to quieter coastal and rural areas; public transport is good in major centres, while a car may be useful elsewhere. International applicants should check whether the specific role qualifies for sponsorship before applying. Eligible healthcare workers may use the Health and Care Worker visa, subject to occupation, salary and employer requirements; not every assistant role is sponsorable. Plan for visa fees, accommodation deposits, healthcare-related documentation and right-to-work checks. Northern England can offer lower housing costs than London, but local rents and commuting expenses should still be researched carefully.
