Summary
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.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust.
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.
