Band 3 Health Care Support Worker - Weston Super Mare

We have all been touched by dementia at some point in our lives. Here on Dune Ward, we go above and beyond to support those living with dementia. We work with service users and carers during a period of time when they need compassion, understanding and support.

We are constantly exploring new and innovative ideas to improve our service, alongside the evidence-based care we deliver on a daily basis. All relevant training is provided, in addition to CPD opportunities.

In addition to supporting our service users, Dune Ward are passionate about the health and wellbeing of their staff and promoting a good work/life balance. Local clinical supervision is offered, and flexible working will be considered on request. We have a health and wellbeing lead who runs a session every team day, in addition to putting on events and activities throughout the year.

If you are passionate about dementia care, this is an opportunity you don’t want to miss. If you would like any additional information, or if you would like to visit the ward, then please contact the ward manager, Megan Williams, on
