The rightHealth Care Assistantfor us….
We are looking for dedicated, committed and reliable individuals who are keen to learn, willing to work together as a team but are self-motivated and can work independently when needed. This is a forward thinking team so you will need to be someone who can embrace change and get stuck in.
You will be a professional who truly understands the need for care, consideration and respect for our patients but can also apply these qualities to your team members. Our patients and their families require someone with compassion and the ability to empathise with difficult situations and be willing to go the extra mile to do what’s right by them.
We welcome the chance for you to see how the ward team works and encourage you to visit us as part of your application.
All positions offered and appointed are in full recognition and acceptance of these requirements.
We require you to be able to complete venepuncture, cannulation and ECG'S.
