About Welbeck Oxford

Welbeck is bringing a brand-new, state-of-the-art private healthcare centre to Oxford, marking an exciting phase of growth for the organisation. The facility will offer a wide range of specialist services delivered by leading clinicians, supported by cutting edge technology and a strong focus on patient-centred, same day care.

About the role

Our Healthcare Assistants support the delivery of safe, effective, and compassionate patient care across a range of specialist clinics. Working alongside consultants, registered nurses, and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will assist with clinical and non-clinical duties including preparing clinic rooms, supporting minor procedures, recording patient observations, performing delegated clinical tasks, and ensuring patients feel comfortable and supported throughout their visit.

We currently have opportunities in the following areas:

Imaging – Our Imaging & Diagnostics team delivers consultant-led diagnostics across a range of specialties. In this department, you'll support patients through their diagnostic journey, helping to ensure a safe, accurate and reassuring experience from arrival to discharge.

Outpatients – Our Outpatients Department provides specialist consultations, diagnostic testing, minor procedures, phlebotomy services and follow-up care across a range of clinical specialties. HCA's in this department support nurses and the wider MDT in delivering a smooth, patient-focused service, from patient preparation to chaperoning and general clinical support.

Procedure Suite – Our Procedure Suite combines minor procedures and endoscopy services in a fast-paced, multi-specialty setting. In this department, HCA's play a key role in preparing patients and procedure rooms, supporting clinical teams during procedures, and ensuring patients are cared for before and after their treatment.

About you

You are a compassionate, organised Healthcare Assistant who is committed to delivering outstanding care and service. You thrive in fast-paced clinical environments, with the ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to ensure safe, efficient and person-centred care. You understand the importance of professionalism, discretion and attention to detail and you consistently put patients at the centre of everything you do.

You are comfortable working independently within your scope of practice while recognising when to seek support or escalation. You are effective with managing your time, prioritising your workload effectively, helping you remain calm and focused under pressure.

An effective communicator, you know how to adapt your style and tone, whether verbal or written to a range of audiences ensuring your message is clear and effective whilst contributing positively to both the patient experience and team culture.
