Prestige Nursing & Care

Prestige Nursing & Care Chichester & Worthing is recruiting experienced Care Assistants to support clients in their own homes across Chichester, Worthing, and surrounding areas.

This is an excellent opportunity for care workers who want to progress beyond standard domiciliary care and develop specialist complex care skills. You will support clients with personal care, medication, daily living activities, and companionship, while working as part of a dedicated care team around each individual client.

As part of this role, you will also receive training and competency sign-off to work towards complex care packages. This may include PEG feeding, enteral nutrition, tracheostomy care, suctioning, ventilator support, catheter care, continence support, spinal injury care, neurological conditions, and clinical monitoring.

You will be expected to follow individual care plans, complete accurate care records, report any changes in client’s health or well-being, and maintain professional communication with clients, families, colleagues, and the nursing team.

Applicants must have at least one year of paid care experience, a full UK driving licence, access to their own vehicle, and the right to work in the UK. You must be reliable, caring, punctual, and willing to learn.

We offer £16-£18 per hour, paid complex care training, mileage allowance, company-paid enhanced DBS, regular supervision, and clear career progression within a supportive nurse-led team.

Jobs FAQs

What shifts or rotas are available for professional carers?

Our branches have a wide variety of hours and rotas which means it’s possible to find shifts that fit in with your life situation, whether you want a full time role or are just looking for a few hours a week. All that we ask is that you commit to the hours you can do two weeks in advance.

Do I need care experience to join?

Six months’ professional care experience is ideal - such as a domiciliary carer, care assistant, homecare worker, support worker or healthcare assistant. However, if you are new to care some branches do offer training leading to care certificates, so please contact the recruitment team to discuss on 0808 239 9716.

Do I need a driving licence?

A full clean driving is required for some roles, but not all. Job roles normally state if a driving licence is required, but if you are unsure then please contact the recruitment team on 0808 239 9716.

What pre-employment checks do you do?

To join Prestige Nursing & Care as a professional carer you will be required to apply for a DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, unless you are registered with the update service.

We can help you apply via your local branch. When you work with children and vulnerable adults a DBS check is a legal requirement. Find out more about DBS checks: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/disclosure-and-barring-service/about.

We also require two professional references, one of which should be your current or most recent employer.

Finally, you will be required to provide proof of eligibility to work in the UK, NI number, ID and proof of address. Your recruiter will talk you through all requirements and support you all the way.

What training do I need to complete before starting work?
