Would you like to come and work in a small and friendly paediatric unit looking after children from our local area? We have 16 beds and have dedicated day surgery lists. Children range in age from 0-18. We are looking for a support worker to assist the qualified nurses. You will be expected to help serve food to the children and families as well as ensure the ward is topped up with essentials to ensure the ward runs efficiently.
You will be asked to make and clean beds alongside running errands and escorting children and families to different departments. You will be given training and work alongside our established team of support workers.
You will be required to access different computer systems, but training will be given.
No two days are the same and your work is very varied from day to day. Our ward runs seven days a week and you will be expected to do shift work between the hours of 07:30 and 20:00.
Please do not hesitate to contact the ward on 01295229001 for more information or to arrange an informal visit with Pippa Parnell, Ward Sister
