East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust
Come and join us! We have excellent full-time opportunities for ITU Support Workers within the Critical Care department at The William Harvey Hospital in Ashford. We are a busy 18-bedded mixed-level unit admitting emergency and elective admissions from a variety of specialties. We are a friendly, welcoming team, working within a dynamic, responsive, and growing unit.
Main duties of the job
As a unit, we pride ourselves on delivering consistent high standards of holistic care. This is reflected in our ICNARC data, performance metrics, and feedback from patients, relatives, and visitors to our unit.
We offer a supportive environment with an extensive induction programme, which includes the Care Certificate. This is a national induction programme for all newly employed ITU Support Workers. Within EKHUFT, the Care Certificate will form part of the non-registered development pathway, and the certificate awarded will be transferable between health care settings.
About us
We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 800,000 people. Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: 'People feel cared for, safe, respected, and confident that we are making a difference'. We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called 'We care'. It's about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We're looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families, and carers we care for every day.
