An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Healthcare Support Worker to join our EMERGENCY CARE & TRAUMA wards (12C) at The Royal London Hospital.
As a Healthcare Support Worker, you will play a key role in supporting our multidisciplinary team. You will assist Registered Nurses and Therapy staff in delivering direct patient care, ensuring that the ward environment remains clean, safe and well organised. You will also support with patient observations, comfort, mobility and personal care.
Our patients are often admitted following traumatic or life-changing events, so we are looking for someone who is calm, empathetic, patient and confident communicating with people during difficult and emotional times. You will be friendly, approachable and able to work well as part of a team.
Previous care experience is desirable but not essential. We offer a structured induction programme, ongoing in-house training and opportunities to develop your skills and progress within the Trust.
