Job description

It is important to consider that some aspects of healthcare work can be distressing and unpleasant but it can be an incredibly rewarding role.

You will be expected to help patients with personal care (such as washing or dressing) without being embarrassed or feeling awkward. You will also need to be able to communicate empathetically and sympathetically to relatives and care for our patients who can be very unwell.

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.
  • Pension scheme
  • NHS discounts across various shops/restaurants and services
  • Career opportunities (such as our nurse degree apprenticeships)
  • Sickness entitlement to support you when you are unwell and cannot attend work
  • Occupational Maternity, Adoption and Shared Parental Pay
Job Description
Healthcare Assistants carry out a wide range of care duties directly with the patient, and their relatives/carers.

  • 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
