We have an exciting opportunity to recruit more Health Care Support Workers to join our amazing team in the Emergency Department due to us expanding our existing workforce., As a Health Care Support Workeryou will help patients feel as comfortable and stress-free as possible.You'll work under the guidance of a healthcare professional such as a nurse and your job will vary depending on the ward you are based, but overall a typical day as a Health Care Support Worker will involve:
* Helping patients wash, dress and go to the toilet, make beds
* Serve meals and help our patients eat and drink
* Contribute to patient assessments
Our hospital is a 24 hour service as our patients need care and attention around the clock, therefore we work on a shift basis and you are likely to be given early, late, twilight and night shifts, so everyone gets involved working different shifts to ensure our patients receive the very best care. This may be a big change to you and your lifestyle but our teams who work around the clock say that they enjoy the varied work pattern and get to work with more colleagues compared to the usual 9-5.
Are you motivated and enjoy the challenges of helping to look after patients with urgent care needs? Do you want to be part of a proactive and dedicated nursing team? Do you want to develop your skills in Emergency Care? If you answer yes, then this could be the job for you.
