Due to the increase in treatments and care we give to our patients, we have new permanent opportunities for Healthcare Assistants to join our Theatres team based at Emersons Green hospital, Bristol.
This will be a very supporting role, where you will be playing a fundamental part in ensuring a smooth patient journey by following and documenting the complete patient pathway.
This is a permanent part-time position (22.5 hpw)
You'll be working three days a week from 07:00 to 15:00 on a rata basis

What you'll be doing:
As one of our Theatre Healthcare Assistants, you will be assisting members of the theatre department, setting up theatres ready for your patient's treatment to take place. The way you will set up a theatre will depend on each individual patient's case.
You will be expected to have up-to-date knowledge of your patient by investigating the patient pathway. It will then be your responsibility to add to and follow that patient's pathway, ensuring particulars such as consent obtained before any treatment is carried out.
You will need to ensure that your patient is prepared and ready with all necessary checks conducted prior to a treatment taking place during a procedure. You'll be ensuring that your patient receives a high standard of care by carrying out your routine monitoring.
You will need to competently and accurately update patient records, ensuring the patient pathway is being followed and documented.
As the Healthcare Assistant, you will be conscious of health, safety, and hygiene aspects in a theatre. Not only will you look to make sure the theatre is clean, but you will also monitor and look for potential hazards, ensuring they are made safe or the issue is quickly brought to the attention of the Theatre Manager.

You might have past experience of working in a care home, hospital, or clinical environment and might have already completed the NVQ level 1 & 2 in Health and Social Care or equivalent.
