Rapid Response

You may choose to work on our unplanned rapid response night sitting service that supports individuals to remain in their own home and reduces the need for admissions to hospital or a care home while the individual's normal care is unavailable.

The unplanned night sitting service is arranged daily by the Emergency Duty Team in accordance with individual’s needs.

Working on this service you may be deployed across the entire county of Norfolk.

The level of care and support you provide will vary according to an individual’s needs and potential.

Elements provided by the Service will include, but not be limited to:

Personal care and therapy support
Holistic Care Planning, which is person-centred
Promotion of health and wellbeing
Multidisciplinary and integrated working
Conducting risk assessments and managing risks
Adherence to safeguarding procedures
Support to relatives and carers
Infection control procedures
Palliative and end of life care
Maintaining records and recognising change in care needs

I love working for Home Support Matters, every day I make a difference to people’s lives and it’s very rewarding. My hard work never goes unnoticed, and I’m always being praised by both customers and branch colleagues. I’ve come so far in such a short amount of time with all the training and support from other colleagues in the field.

Having only worked for Home Support Matters for two months now, the support and help I've received from colleagues at head office and the front-line carers I've had the pleasure of working with has been so incredible and made me feel so welcome to the company.

I love working for Home Support Matters as we help so many people that need help in their own home and enable them to remain independent. I love how it makes me feel and I know I make a difference to the people we help.

I love working for Home Support Matters. I’ve been here a year and I’ve already progressed in my job, moving from Care Worker to Care Co-ordinator in the short time I’ve been here. Colleagues are all friendly, helpful and very supportive.

I haven’t been happier than since I started working here, I’ve found my passion in helping others and it’s been an incredible experience ever since! It’s such a lovely team to work with, management values the employees and the training is brilliant. We get to go to different places and experience new working environments, meet new people and it’s simply great.

It's a huge responsibility, supporting a customer when they are at their most vulnerable. But you’re part of a team of skilled colleagues, and with advice just a phone call away, you’re never alone and you know that you are making a positive improvement to people's lives.
