PLEASE NOTE: You must be able to work a minimum of two shifts a week on the Bank (unless you are a student nurse).

Bank workers must complete role specific training prior to booking shifts. All training must be completed within 4 weeks of receiving your conditional offer.

Working inhealthcaremeans you'll be making a positive difference to the lives of others. You may help to bring a new life into the world or save another life from ending. Even just knowing that you have helped to make a patient’s stay with us a little easier is priceless.

You will be working for the NHS, the UK's largest employer, with the many benefits that it brings:

  • Shift pay enhancements for nights, weekends and bank holidays
  • A minimum of 27 days' annual leave per year, plus 8 days for bank holidays.

  • Sickness entitlement to support you when you are unwell and cannot attend work
  • Occupational Maternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Pay
Job Description

  • Maintaining dignity whilst helping patients to wash or shower
  • Serving food and, if necessary, helping to feed patients
  • Making and changing beds
  • Turning patients who are confined to bed to avoid pressure damage
