The role of a Healthcare Support Worker is fulfilling, varied and impactful. You will play a vital role in the care of our patients, helping with their day-to-day needs such as personal care, observations, mealtimes, toileting and mobility - as well as performing medical checks such as taking temperatures, pulse and respiration. This care is critical to supporting our patients in their recovery and providing them with the best experience.

Sometimes the role will be tough. You will see and be involved in some difficult patient care, be rushed off your feet and deliver some very direct personal care too.

We have over 10,000 staff across three different sites, all working towards the same aim which is to ensure our patients receive the very best care. You will work with dozens of different people all performing different roles, so you have the chance to learn so much.

As you would expect, we do work on a shift basis - our patients need our care and attention 24 hours a day 7 days a week, so everyone gets involved working different shifts to ensure our patients receive the best care. Typically, you would usually work a four-shift system: early, late, twilight and nights. This role requires some 12-hour day or night shifts, otherwise known as a 'long day' or 'long night'.

If you have always aspired to work for the NHS - caring for our patients and working alongside highly motivated teams - then you are going to love this role at the Royal Free London.

We understand how important life is outside of work, so as well as 27 days annual leave (plus bank holidays), we have excellent family leave policies (from when you start a family, up to balancing home and work life) and an excellent pension scheme.

We adopt a forward-thinking approach to working that works around your lifestyle. This includes working flexible hours (through self-rostering so you can request your preferred shifts) and being able to make use of a generous wellbeing and benefits package - as an NHS employee you will have access to great discounts with leading high street names and different discount schemes.

Our size, scale and influence offer you unrivalled career opportunities however we appreciate that some people are happy to undertake and thrive in a role without feeling the need to take on any additional study. We will support you no matter what you want from the role. Read more information about us here: https://www.royalfreelondonjobs.co.uk/
