Job description

Overview

Here at The Royal Free Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust we are passionate about delivering the highest quality care to all our patients. We are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and committed Band 3 Health Care/Nursing Assistants to join our temporary staffing bank.

As a trust bank HCA you will be able to choose a flexible working pattern to suit your work life balance in a variety of clinical settings working as part of a committed multidisciplinary team. The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is a high performing Trust with some of the best clinical outcomes in the country. Visa sponsorship does not apply to this role.

Working shifts as a Bank Health Care/Nursing Assistant across wards and departments as part of the multidisciplinary team, in a variety of clinical settings to support the team to deliver the highest quality care to our patients, in line with our trust values.

To work as a member of the nursing team, under the direction and supervision of a registered nurse delivering care to patients.

To work as a part of a multidisciplinary team to assist in the continuity of care.

To assist in the maintenance of a safe, clean and comfortable ward environment.

To complete Trust training and education programmes commensurate with the role.

As part of our continued response to COVID-19, we are closely following Department of Health and Social Care\'s (DHSC) guidance and the government’s proposals for new mandatory COVID-19 vaccination legislation. This means that full COVID-19 vaccination will be a condition of employment in all NHS roles which have face-to-face contact with patients and service users from 1 April 2022 unless exempt. This also means that by 3 February 2022 all such staff will need to have had their first COVID-19 vaccination. We expect the need to be vaccinated to apply to the vast majority of roles, although this may not be a requirement in some limited, exceptional circumstances. Should your role be identified as being within the scope of the legislation, you will be required to provide evidence of your vaccination status (or a legitimate exemption from these requirements) as a condition of your employment.

This advert closes on Thursday 29 Jan 2026.

Responsibilities

• Support trained nurses to deliver excellent care to an allocated group of patients, providing support for each clinical area you work on.
• Provide personal care to patients and support needs such as mobilisation and feeding.
• Record observations and provide enhanced care for patients with dementia and delirium.
• Work across wards and departments as part of a multidisciplinary team to maintain continuity of care.
