About HomeLink Healthcare

HomeLink Healthcare is a clinician-led, specialist Hospital at Home service provider. We believe that patients should have the choice to be treated at home rather than in a hospital. Our skilled and compassionate nursing and therapeutic teams deliver in-person care to NHS patients in the place they call home.

Working in partnership with NHS hospitals, consultants, community providers and GPs, our out-of-hospital care prevents some people being admitted to hospital and enables others to come home more quickly.

To apply for a fantastic opportunity to join our team, you must be eligible to work in the UK and be a resident. Please do not apply if you are not eligible to work in the UK. Please note that sponsorships are not available.
