Job description

HealthCare Assistant – Band 2

We are currently seeking a highly motivated Healthcare Assistant to join our nurse led Chemotherapy Unit at Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital.

Whilst this can be a challenging role and requires someone who is flexible and adaptable to changing environments it is also very rewarding.

No one day is the same and draws on and enables the post-holder to use a variety of skills.

You must like working with people and want to make a real difference to our patients and families lives as well as make a positive contribution to the team and our service.

The post is rotational within the Chemotherapy Service and will involve chaperoning/supporting Consultants/Registrars during their Oncology Outpatient Clinics, as well as working on the Chemotherapy Unit itself.

If you feel this job is for you then we would love to hear from you.

The posts offer:

  • The ability to give holistic care to the patient and their family, throughout their course of treatment
  • The opportunity to work in the very specialised area of cancer services
  • The ability to support trained staff in managing empathetically emotional issues relating to stages in the patient’s journey
  • The opportunity to be part of a team that works collaboratively with all care groups to develop a service for the care and management of patients with cancer.
The post holder is expected to carry out all relevant forms of care in which they are competent, without direct supervision.

These are just some of the reasons that make this a ‘great place to work’.

We are one of the largest hospital trusts in England, with five hospitals and community clinics serving a local population of around 695,000 people.

Our vision is 'great healthcare from great people'. Everything we do is guided by our values: ‘People feel cared for, safe, respected and confident that we are making a difference’.

We have a new way of working at East Kent Hospitals, called ‘We care’. It’s about empowering frontline staff to lead improvements day-to-day. We’re looking for compassionate people to be part of our improvement journey for the patients, families and carers we care for every day.
