Healthcare Support Worker - Band 3

The Role of the Health Care Assistant Higher Level is to assist and support the qualified health professionals and Clinical Support Workers in ensuring optimal care for the patients. The delivery of high quality, effective and compassionate health care to the patients of the Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust is the most important objective for the organisation

As a healthcare support worker, you’ll work under the supervision of a healthcare professional, supporting them and helping patients on their journey back to full health.

We have the training, support, education, and opportunities to help you make the very most of your talent. Whether that means becoming a registered nursing associate, registered nurse, midwife or physiotherapist of the future, or moving into a management role or simply being the best Healthcare Support Worker you can be.

It’s a hands-on role – one minute you could be taking blood and the next lending an ear to an anxious patient – but it’s one of the most rewarding. Duties include monitoring patients and performing basic health checks, making patients feel comfortable, washing and dressing patients and helping to feed patients.

Working as a Senior Healthcare Support Worker is a vital role within the team and if you’re positive, caring and have a can-do attitude – we want you to join us.

Virtually all the roles are shift based covering 7 days a week – but there’s enhanced pay for any unsocial hours.

Your life outside work is important, and we are happy to offer full time and part time roles - please discuss details with us during the interview session.
