The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community.

We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence.

These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family.

Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.

Your main duties will include caring for patients, helping them with their daily personal care needs, manual handling, and monitoring their clinical condition.

You will be jointly responsible for some house-keeping duties alongside the rest of the team. You will have the opportunity to gain and acquire new learning opportunities to improve your knowledge and skills.

As a Senior Nursing Assistant, you will act as a role model to your junior colleagues.
