Job description

Overview

As a Health Care Support Worker, you will support the delivery of nursing care to clients within a clinical setting and/or home environment, as part of a team and under the direction of a Registered Nurse. Our priorities within the team focus on:

• Caring with humanity, dignity, kindness and compassion
• Providing safe, effective, harm-free care
• Listening to patients and carers and improving the way we work

Currently we are unable to provide certificates of sponsorship for this role as it does not meet the Home Office's criteria. Anyone requiring a certificate of sponsorship is therefore unable to be shortlisted and interviewed.

This is an ideal opportunity for a Health Care Support Worker who is seeking to broaden and utilise their range of skills and knowledge to nurse people in their own environment as part of a multi-disciplinary team. The post holder will participate in the delivery of skilled, autonomous nursing care to patients within their own home. The Knighton District Nursing Team are an integral part of the Virtual Ward that aims to prevent unnecessary admissions to hospital and facilitate early discharge home.

This post involves lone working and the ability to travel independently is essential. The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.

We're also lucky enough to be situated in one of the most beautiful rural counties in Britain, let alone Wales! Achieving a healthy 'life work' balance is essential, and something we recognise by prioritising your well-being.
