Are you passionate about caring for others?


Why not join the NHS in a rewarding career as a Healthcare Support Worker on one of our Trauma & Orthopaedic wards?


Previous experience of working in a care environment is welcomed but is not essential as we provide the training you will need to succeed in this role. We offer a comprehensive 2 week induction and support you through the Care Certificate and beyond to help you reach your potential and deliver first class care to our patients.


Our HCSWs are invaluable to the trust and play an integral role in the wards and departmental teams. The role of a HCSW can be challenging but overall rewarding. Working alongside likeminded people, our teams are caring, compassionate and inclusive. We believe in “growing our own” and support progression pathways to staff nurse training applications.


This post is being advertised as a Band 3. However applicants that do not meet the required Care Certificate competencies will initially be employed as a Band 2. Applicants who hold a care certificate accreditation will start in post at Band 3.


PLEASE NOTE: We do not offer sponsorship for HCSW roles


No virtual interviews will be offered as Maths & Literacy tests need to be completed in person.
