NLAG are looking to recruit Senior Healthcare Assistants across the specialist medicine care group based at Scunthorpe General Hospital and Diana Princess of Wales Hospital.
Senior Healthcare Assistants (SHCAs) are important members of the ward team. They assist patients to ensure their daily activities of living are maintained. This can include providing assistance with washing and dressing, pressure area care, assisting patients to eat and drink, and mobilising and transferring patients between departments. The SHCA works closely with the registered nurse to ensure patients receive the best possible holistic care.
As a SHCA, you will be expected to assist patients in maintaining their daily activities. This includes washing and dressing, completing paperwork, assisting patients to eat and drink, providing pressure area care, mobilising patients safely, reporting concerns, and transferring patients between areas.
NLAG is part of one of the largest acute and community group arrangements in the NHS, seeing well over one million patients every year and managing a budget of over £1.3 billion.
Made up of two Trusts - Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust (NLAG) and Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust (HUTH) - our Group has significant ambitions and is committed to delivering world-class hospital and community services for the 1.65 million people we serve.
Together we employ nearly 20,000 staff. Our five main hospital sites are Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital, Scunthorpe General Hospital, and Goole and District Hospital for NLAG, and Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital for HUTH.
As Teaching Hospitals working with the Hull York Medical School, we both lead and contribute to research in many areas - biomedical research, primary care, palliative medicine, cardiovascular and respiratory medicine, vascular surgery, cancer surgery, and oncology.
We believe that by developing a diverse, inclusive, innovative, skilled, and caring workforce, we can deliver excellent care to our patients and a great future for our employees, our Group, and our community.
Should we receive a high volume of applications, the advert may be closed earlier than stated.
