Job summary

Join our Bank as a Healthcare Support Worker Band 3

It's hard to sum up in a few words just how much our Healthcare Support Workers mean to us, but when we asked our teams, the words they used were: Passionate. Essential. Inspiring. Dedicated. Needed. Invaluable. Just think, this could be how you are described when you join us as one of our new Healthcare Support Workers.

You'll support our teams; deliver fantastic care to all our service users, helping do whatever it takes to ensure our service users receive the very best service possible. Whether you are helping to undertake observations, supporting service users with their personal care, listening to service users when they are distressed, worried, depressed or agitated - you will see first-hand the impact your role makes every minute you are working.

Our hospitals and teams don't close, so as you would expect, we do work on a shift basis - our service users need our care and attention 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so everyone gets involved working different shifts to ensure our service users receive the very best.

With recent experience in mental healthcare you will find your skills are transferable to our healthcare settings and service users.
