Summary
We are currently recruiting for Emergency Department Assistants who aredynamic and self-motivated; to join our friendly multidisciplinary team helping to deliver high-class emergency care within the Emergency Department.
Depending upon previous experience, the successful candidate can expect to be trained up to perform phlebotomy/cannulation and develop skills in treatment of injuries such as plastering skills. This is in addition to the basic care of the children and families we care for which includes empirical observations, attending to comfort and hygiene needs, and sometimes just making the difference in a patient’s experience by something as minor as a cup of tea or the reassurance of holding someone’s hand.
You should be flexible, enthusiastic and passionate about emergency care and an excellent communicator. This role is also ideal for anyone who wishes to look towards becoming an allied health professional in the future. Many nurses and doctors started off as EDA’s or healthcare assistants as it provides a formidable foundation in basic care.

The role will involve working in conjunction with professionally qualified staff, undertaking delegated care and treatment of patients attending the Emergency department.
