Description
This is an exciting opportunity to join Vascular Ward E16 at Queen's Medical centre. We will guide you through a healthcare assistant induction and support you to complete the national Care Certificate.

In addition to the below summary you need to familiarise yourself with full job description and person specification documents attached to the advert

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and committed Healthcare Assistant to join our Vascular Surgery unit.

We will welcome any forward thinking, caring individual who is committed to providing a high standard of safe quality patient care.

You must display excellent communication skills and be confident to deal with members of the public and the hospital multidisciplinary team
You will be delivering hands on patient care to the 28 patients on Vascular Ward E16.

Since 1st April 2015, NUH has been complying with the National Care Certificate Standards. You will undertake a two-week skills academy and following that must successfully complete the Care Certificate within 12 weeks. Many of these standards will require assessment in the clinical area.


Whilst previous experience of caring for acutely ill patients would be advantageous, we are also interested in hearing from exceptional individuals without this experience.

We want to hear from people with a special talent for caring and compassion, who would be able to go the extra mile to help our patients feel valued and cared for and at all times to treat them with dignity and respect.


At NUH we take great pride in having in place a team of highly trained Healthcare Assistants to provide quality and compassionate patient care.

These roles are essential to the experience of our patients and their relatives and carers and they complement the clinical care provided by our doctors, nurses, midwives and therapists.


As part of the interview process, if you are successful at shortlisting, you will be expected to complete the Numeracy and Literacy Assessment.

If you are successful at this stage you will then be attending a formal panel interview.


These are highly sought after training opportunities with the prospect of a long-term and rewarding career in the health service.
