Distant Island Allowance of £2,482 per annum (pro rata)
We have a vacancy for a Healthcare Support Worker at Gilbert Bain Hospital.
This is a varied role and encompasses supporting women and their families during the antenatal, intrapartum and postnatal period. The maternity unit is open 24/7 therefore the post holder will be expected to support the rota to ensure the unit is covered. The post holder will receive training in providing breast feeding support and will provide this support in both hospital and community settings, as well as receiving phlebotomy training to support the pregnancy screening programmes.
Rise to the challenge and enjoy the opportunity - Shetland is a wonderful place to live and work. Shetland offers low pollution, low crime, excellent schools, great leisure facilities, unique wildlife and amazing scenery, whilst still only a short flight away from the UK mainland.

You will be expected to comply with the Induction Standards and Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers within 3 months of commencing your role – details can be viewed on http://www.hcswtoolkit.nes.scot.nhs.uk/resources/hcsw-standards-and-codes/
