Main duties of the job

New to Care - Healthcare Support Workers Band 2

For entrants without any previous experience, we offer a Band 2 Healthcare Support Worker post.  These individuals will provide personal care to our patients, supporting patients with aspects such as toileting, bathing, dressing and meals.  Full training and support will be provided to all individuals via our Healthcare Support Worker Apprenticeship development programme.

Successful applicants are required to evidence their right to work in the UK, and provide evidence of continuous UK residency for a minimum of three years to fulfil the national apprenticeship programme requirements.

For those with existing experience, we have opportunities for Band 3 Clinical Healthcare Support Workers, whose role will be to undertake a range of delegated clinical care duties, recording patient observations and progressing patients treatment plans within guidelines set. Clinical duties may include taking blood pressure, blood glucose monitoring, routine observations, wound observations and simple wound dressings, removal of peripheral cannulas and catheters.

Our Band 3 Clinical Healthcare Support Workers work without the need for direct supervision. Ongoing training and development will however be provided to ensure the enhanced clinical competencies have been achieved relevant to the ward/area of specialty.
