The delivery of high quality, effective, safe and compassionate health care to the patients of the Hampshire Hospitals Foundation Trust is the most important objective for the organisation.
The post holder will assist the trained nurses with repositioning patients, washing, ordering meals as well as maintaining stock within the individual bed spaces and the department. The post holder will also be required to provide comfort and support to patients and families whilst maintaining respect, privacy and dignity and confidentiality. They will ensure that a welcoming and professional greeting is provided to patients and visitors, and to ensure that the Nursing and Medical staff are well supported in their own roles.

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.
