As a Healthcare Assistant on the ward at our Shrewsbury Hospital, you’ll show us you’re able to meet deadlines and follow instructions. You have a good telephone manner, and great computer and database skills. If you’re qualified to NVQ Level 2 or 3, with relevant experience in an acute hospital or care setting, that’s even better.

As a Healthcare Assistant on the ward, you will:

1. Put patient care first
2. Carry out administrative duties
3. Enjoy time to get to know the people who are our patients
4. Meet the needs of every individual
5. Use your organisational skills to make a positive impact

Working on the bank means you are not contracted to a set number of hours per week but instead work on an ad-hoc basis to suit the needs of the business and your availability.
