Just bring along your caring approach, supportive attitude, great communication skills and empathetic nature and you will really thrive in our hospitals.

  • Needed
  • Invaluable

You will also perform observations etc and confidently update our electronic patient records accurately to ensure all the information about our patients is captured for our clinical colleagues to use.

Accuracy of information and teamwork are essential parts of the role.


Sometimes the role will be tough, you will see and be involved in some difficult things involving our patients, be very busy and deliver some very direct personal care.

We don't want to shy away from this and we know that this part of the role wont be for everyone.

This is why we run such a robust interview and assessment process to make sure you understand all aspects of the role, as well as assess you to check you have all the fabulous skills, behaviours, attributes, resilience and caring nature we need.
