Make a Difference Where It Matters Most

Lagans Foundation is a specialist childrens charity providing home health care, respite and support to families of children and young people aged 019 with complex health needs.

Our charity was founded from lived experience of caring for a child with complex congenital heart defects and feeding difficulties, and from understanding just how difficult it can be for families to find the right support once they are at home.

Today, our carers work alongside families across the North West, providing individualised care and respite to children and young people with a wide range of complex and high-dependency health needs.

For some families, having a skilled carer they trust means a parent can rest, spend time with another child, have a meal, take a shower or simply have some time knowing that their child is being safely and compassionately cared for.

For the child or young person, our role is to understand their individual needs, their communication, their routines, their preferences and the clinical care that keeps them safe and well supported.

No two children, families or shifts are the same.

Were Looking for an Advanced Carer

We are now looking for an experienced Advanced Childrens Play & Health Care Worker Carer Level 3 to join our specialist care team.

This is not an entry-level care position.

You will already have experience supporting people with complex or high-dependency health needs and have the confidence and clinical competencies required to provide more advanced care.

You will work in children's own homes and communities, providing safe, compassionate and individualised support while giving parents and unpaid carers valuable respite.

Depending on the individual child, this could include complex respiratory support, enteral or parenteral nutrition, seizure management, medication, personal care, positioning, communication support and other specialist interventions.

Just as importantly, you will get to know the individual child and family and understand what good care means for them.

What Youll Be Doing

As a Carer Level 3, you will:

• Provide safe, high-quality care to children and young people with complex and high-dependency health needs.
• Work confidently within individual care plans, risk assessments and clinical protocols.
• Deliver advanced clinical interventions within your assessed competencies.
• Recognise changes or deterioration in a child's condition and escalate concerns appropriately.
• Administer medication safely in accordance with care plans, training and policy.
• Provide personal care while maintaining dignity, comfort, privacy and respect.
• Support feeding, positioning, mobility, communication and respiratory needs where required.
• Understand each child's individual way of communicating and respond to their preferences and needs.
• Build professional, trusting relationships with children, parents and families.
• Provide families with confidence that their child is receiving safe and compassionate care while they take a much-needed break.
• Maintain accurate and timely care and clinical records.
• Support and mentor other carers in clinical practice.
• Share your experience and help less experienced colleagues develop their confidence and competence.
• Work closely with Area Care Team Leaders, our Clinical Lead and other health and care professionals.
• Identify and escalate clinical, safeguarding or care concerns promptly.
• Maintain your professional development, mandatory training and clinical competencies.

The Experience Youll Bring

For our Carer Level 3 position, you will need:

• Level 3 Health & Social Care qualification or higher
• Demonstrable experience in complex/high-dependency care
• Experience supporting children or young people with significant health needs
• Experience providing personal care
• Experience supporting medication and clinical care
• Confidence working independently within a family home
• The ability to remain calm and respond appropriately when a child's condition changes
• An understanding of professional boundaries and when to seek clinical support
• Excellent communication skills with children, families, colleagues and professionals
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own vehicle with business-use insurance
• An Enhanced DBS covering the Child and Adult Workforce

Advanced Clinical Competencies

You will have experience and competency in:

• Tracheostomy care essential

Experience and competency in one or more of the following would be advantageous:

• NP suction / airway clearance
• Rescue medication for uncontrolled epilepsy/seizure management
• TPN management
• CPAP / BiPAP support
• Advanced airway management

All appointments at Carer Level 3 will also be subject to completion of Lagans Foundation's required internal competency assessments and Level 3 clinical sign-off before carrying out relevant procedures independently.

What Makes Care at Lagans Different?

Technical competence is essential but it isn't everything.

When you enter a family's home as a Lagans carer, you are being trusted with someone incredibly important to them.

We therefore look for carers who understand that excellent complex care is also about dignity, consistency, patience, communication and trust.

Some children we support may communicate verbally and be active within their community. Others may communicate non-verbally, have very limited mobility or require significant clinical intervention throughout their care.

Good care looks different for every child.

Your job is to understand the person you are supporting, work safely within their individual care plan and help provide the family with reliable, compassionate support.

Our Values

At Lagans Foundation, we expect our team to demonstrate our values in the way they care for families and work with one another:

Passion Taking pride in providing excellent care and making a meaningful difference to families.

Resilience Remaining calm, dependable and adaptable when caring for children with complex needs.

Integrity & Communication Being honest, professional and clear, following care plans and speaking up when something isn't right.

Empathy Understanding that every child and every family's circumstances are different and providing support without judgement.

Develop Your Career With Lagans

Joining us at Level 3 doesn't mean your development stops.

We want experienced carers to continue building their clinical knowledge, confidence and leadership skills.

Depending on your career ambitions, development could include further formal qualifications and progression towards roles such as:

• Nursing Associate
• Registered Children's Nurse
• Senior carer positions
• Leadership opportunities within our care service

Progression is based on competency, qualifications, experience, performance and the needs of the organisation.

Why Join Lagans Foundation?

Lagans Foundation was created because families caring for children with complex health needs can need support that doesn't always fit neatly within traditional services.

We work to help bridge the gap between health services, community care and the realities families experience at home.

As part of our team, you will be joining a charity where your skills have a direct impact not only on the child you care for, but on their wider family.

Youll also receive:

• £26,325 annual salary (£13.50 per hour)
• 28 days holiday (FTE)
• Pension scheme
• Health Cash Plan through Hospital Saturday Fund
• Perkbox
• Unlimited counselling
• Flexible benefits and salary sacrifice options
• Specialist clinical training and competency development
• Regular supervision and support
• Ongoing professional development
• Opportunities for career progression

Be You, With Us

At Lagans Foundation, we welcome you all of you.

We embrace diversity, value individuality and recognise the different experiences and perspectives people bring to our organisation.

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Committed employer and are happy to discuss reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process and employment.

Could You Be the Experienced Carer Our Families Need?

If you already have complex-care experience, advanced clinical competencies and want to use those skills to provide safe, individualised and compassionate care to children and families, we would love to hear from you.

Hourly Rate: £12.82

Role Purpose

As a Childrens Play and Health Care Worker Waking Nights, you will be part of Lagans Foundations specialist care team, providing high-quality, compassionate and attentive support to a child with complex health needs within their own home.

Your primary responsibility will be to provide safe and dependable support throughout the night. You will remain awake, alert and responsive for the full duration of each shift, monitoring the child in accordance with their individual care plan, risk assessments and agreed night-time routines.

A key part of this package involves supporting the child with the safe use of their BiPAP equipment. You do not need to have previous BiPAP or ventilation experience. Full training, supervision and competency assessment will be provided, and you will not undertake these responsibilities independently until you have been appropriately trained and signed off as competent.

Key Responsibilities

You will:

• Provide high-quality, attentive waking-night support within the childs home.
• Remain awake, alert and responsive throughout the full waking-night shift.
• Monitor the child in accordance with their individual care plan and risk assessments.
• Follow agreed night-time routines and clinical guidance.
• Following training and competency sign-off, support the safe use of the childs BiPAP equipment.
• Ensure the childs BiPAP mask remains appropriately in place and respond in accordance with your training and the childs care plan when intervention is required.
• Recognise changes in the childs presentation and appropriately escalate health or safety concerns without delay.
• Recognise and appropriately report any safeguarding concerns.
• Build and maintain a positive, trusting and professional relationship with the child and family.
• Communicate effectively with the family, colleagues, managers and relevant professionals.
• Work within your training, assessed competencies, professional boundaries and Lagans Foundation policies at all times.

Daytime Induction and Competency Shifts

Although this particular waking-night package does not routinely involve personal care or play-based support, these remain part of the wider Childrens Play and Health Care Worker role and competency framework.

During your induction, training and competency period, you will therefore be required to undertake daytime shifts. These shifts will enable you to:

• Get to know the child and build a trusting relationship.
• Develop positive rapport with the family.
• Understand the childs individual routines, communication and support needs.
• Complete required observations and competency assessments.
• Develop and be assessed in relevant personal care and play-based support competencies.
• Complete the required BiPAP and ventilation training and competency assessment.

You will only progress to independently supporting the child overnight once the required training and competencies have been completed and both the care team and family are confident with the arrangement.

Documentation and Administration

You will:

• Complete accurate visit records and documentation following each shift.
• Accurately record relevant observations and support provided throughout the night.
• Complete accident, incident and safeguarding documentation where required.
• Accurately log in and out of visits in accordance with the rota and organisational procedures.
• Administer medication where this forms part of the childs care plan and only after completing the required training and competency assessment.
• Provide appropriate feedback regarding care plans and risk assessments so that changes can be reviewed promptly where required.
• Complete other relevant administrative documentation in accordance with organisational procedures.

Training and Professional Development

You will be expected to:

• Complete Lagans Foundations comprehensive induction programme.
• Complete all required online and face-to-face mandatory training.
• Complete BiPAP and ventilation training and associated competency assessments.
• Complete relevant daytime competency shifts.
• Attend team meetings, supervision and observation sessions as required.
• Maintain all mandatory training and competency requirements.
• Take responsibility for continuing professional development and maintaining the knowledge and skills required for the role.
• Work within the limits of your training and assessed competencies at all times.

Professional Responsibilities

You will:

• Maintain high standards of professionalism, reliability and timekeeping.
• Deliver all hours of care assigned to you on the agreed rota.
• Maintain confidentiality and appropriate professional boundaries.
• Follow safeguarding, health and safety and care standards.
• Demonstrate adaptability, resilience and effective communication.
• Promote equality, diversity and inclusive practice.
• Represent Lagans Foundation positively when working with children, families, colleagues and other professionals.
• Contribute to maintaining and continually improving standards of care.

Working Pattern

This is a permanent waking-night position with a regular shift of 10:30pm6:30am.

The working pattern alternates between:

• Two waking-night shifts one week
• Three waking-night shifts the following week

This equates to an average of approximately 20 hours per week.

You must be able to reliably commit to the required rota and remain awake, alert and responsive throughout every waking-night shift.

Daytime shifts will also be required during induction, training and competency assessment before you progress to independent waking-night support.

Our Values

Everyone at Lagans Foundation is expected to demonstrate our four core values:

Passion Deliver heartfelt care and strive to make a positive difference every day.

Resilience Stay adaptable, confident and determined, even when challenges arise.

Integrity and Communication Be honest, professional and clear in everything you say and do.

Empathy Understand, support and care for others with kindness and respect.
