Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
We are recruiting now for Treatment Centre Elective Orthopaedic ward
The Role of the Health Care Assistant Higher Level is to assist and support the qualified health professionals and Clinical Support Workers in ensuring optimal care for the patients. The delivery of high quality, effective and compassionate health care to the patients of the Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust is the most important objective for the organisation.
Main duties of the job
Health Care Support Workers (HCSW) at Hampshire Hospitals work at Non Elective Surgery. As a healthcare support worker, you'll work under the supervision of a healthcare professional, supporting them and helping patients on their journey back to full health.
It's a hands-on role - one minute you could be taking blood and the next lending an ear to an anxious patient - but it's one of the most rewarding. Duties include monitoring patients and performing basic health checks, making patients feel comfortable, washing and dressing patients, and helping to feed patients.
Working as a Senior Healthcare Support Worker is a vital role within the team, and if you're positive, caring, and have a can-do attitude - we want you to join us.
