Job Description

Full-time and Part Time Clinical Healthcare Support Workers - Experienced Opportunities



We are currently recruiting for experienced Clinical Healthcare Support Workers, across our hospital sites.



Successful applicants will be required to work the full range of shifts which will include days, long-days, nights and weekends on a rota basis.



Unfortunately we are unable to offer Sponsorship for this post. For details of which visas can be permitted, please review the attached Information Pack.



Our Healthcare Support Workers deliver a key role that's at the very heart of healthcare, and can be found across a variety of settings, from hospital clinics, to our wards and outreach services.



What ever your background story, if you're aged 18 years or over and have a passion for caring and supporting others, we want to hear from you.



It's a hands-on-role, but also one of the most rewarding. Your day-to-day will vary depending on which part of the NHS you're working in.



Experienced Candidates - Clinical Healthcare Support Workers Band 3



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.

Both Trusts will retain their separate statutory names and legal obligations.
