    North Bristol Trust are looking for dedicated, enthusiastic Healthcare Support Workers to join wards across our Medicine, Anaesthesia, Surgery, Critical Care & Renal and Neurological & Musculoskeletal Divisions.

    WHY APPLY?

    Healthcare Support Workers are a core member of the team delivering direct care to patients and supporting registered practitioners to deliver high quality, compassionate healthcare. You will carry out a range of clinical and non-clinical tasks, under the direct or indirect supervision of the registered healthcare practitioner, whilst maintaining our Trust values - Caring, Ambitious, Respectful and Supportive.

    This Trainee Senior HCSW role is a Band 2 to Band 3 development role for candidates who have an existing Level 3 Qualification ( A Levels, NVQ Level 3). Experience in a care role would be an advantage but not essential. Please note we are unable to offer sponsorship for this position.

    Senior HCSW role is a Band 3 role and previous healthcare experience, a Level 3 Healthcare qualification and completion of functional skills are an essential requirement for direct entry into this role.

    Main duties of the job

    Working as a Healthcare Support Worker, you will be involved with direct patient care whilst maintaining the privacy and dignity of patients. You will be working alongside a Registered Nurse to provide essential nursing care and helping your patients with daily living tasks such as:

  • helping patients feel comfortable and move around
  • monitoring patients and performing basic health checks
  • washing, dressing patients and helping them go to the toilet
  • serving meals and helping to feed patients

    • Upon successful completion of clinical skills training, as a Senior Healthcare Support Worker, you will also be expected to carry out a range of clinical duties with minimal / no supervision, including:

  • blood pressure monitoring
  • oxygen saturation levels
  • body temperature
  • pulse rate and respiration rate
  • glucose monitoring
  • wound swab
  • collection and testing of urine, faecal and sputum samples

    • Whilst completing these tasks, the underlining aim is to deliver high-quality patient care at all times.
