Job Overview
We currently have vacancies for Band 2 Health Care Support Workers on D7E in the Royal Gwent Hospital, Newport. The posts provide a diverse range of care within General Surgery, but more specifically Trauma & Orthopaedics.
Caring, compassionate, enthusiastic, dedicated, and highly skilled. These are just a few words that describe the Nurses that work within our Health Board.
Are you interested in developing your skills and have a desire to care for Trauma and Orthopaedic patients at Royal Gwent Hospital?
Main duties of the job
Currently, we are unable to provide certificates of sponsorship for this role as it does not meet the Home Office’s criteria. Anyone requiring a certificate of sponsorship is therefore unable to be shortlisted and interviewed.
Exciting opportunities have become available within Trauma & Orthopaedics on our Stepdown and Elective Wards at RGH. We are looking for motivated, enthusiastic individuals to join our team. We strive to improve discharge planning whilst ensuring all patients are cared for holistically.
Applications are invited from Health Care Support Workers with good communication skills, both written and verbal, who are committed to providing high standards of care for patients, their families, and carers within a hospital setting.
Applicants must have completed their NVQ level 2 in Health and Social care. The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
