You will be responsible for coordinating healthcare services for our male residents undergoing drug and alcohol treatment, including medication management, accessing GP and specialist services, and promoting overall wellbeing. The role involves both administrative and practical tasks, as well as direct involvement in helping residents manage their own healthcare needs alongside supporting their wider recovery and spiritual growth.

Whilst this is not a hands-on nursing role, a background in healthcare would be ideal, along with strong organisational and IT skills, and the ability to work collaboratively with medical professionals, with a commitment to providing high-quality and compassionate care and support.

A committed Christian faith is required to uphold the ethos and values of Yeldall Manor, and to support residents in their spiritual journey. Yeldall Manor is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of its residents, and the successful candidate will be subject to a satisfactory enhanced DBS check. If you are in recovery, you must have a minimum of two years’ clean time.

This is a part-time, permanent position, ideally five mornings a week (8am – 11am and one full day).  For the right candidate, we can be flexible and will consider full-time hours.

If you're excited about this opportunity and feel you have the skills to help support the work we do, we’d love to hear from you. Please submit your CV along with a covering letter explaining your suitability for the role as outlined in the job description.We would like to fill this role as soon as possible so would welcome invitations to apply by Friday 29 November, 2024.

We look forward to hearing from you!
