Bristol, United Kingdom North Bristol NHS Trust Full time

Are you looking for a new career working with people and really making a difference? Or a role with a clear pathway for progression?

North Bristol NHS Trust are looking for dedicated, enthusiastic and supportive Healthcare Support Workers to join our Intensive Care Unit.

WHY APPLY?

Healthcare Support Workers are a core member of the team delivering direct care to patients and supporting registered practitioners to deliver high quality, compassionate health care to people in accordance with assessed needs and a care plan. You will carry out a range of clinical and non-clinical healthcare, or therapeutic tasks, under the direct or indirect supervision of the registered healthcare practitioner.

Senior HCSW role is a Band 3 role and previous healthcare experience, a Level 3 Healthcare Qualification and completion of functional skills are an essential requirement for direct entry into this role. Ideally this experience should be in an acute / hospital setting.

Working as a Healthcare Support Worker, you will be involved with direct patient care whilst maintaining the privacy and dignity of patients. You will be working alongside a Registered Nurse to provide essential nursing care and helping your patients with daily living tasks such as:
helping patients feel comfortable and move around

performing basic health checks

washing, dressing patients and helping them go to the toilet

serving meals and helping to feed patients

As a Senior Healthcare Support Worker, upon completion of your clinical skills training and critical care competencies*, you will also be expected to carry out occasional basic clinical duties under the supervision of a registered nurse.

Whilst completing these tasks, the underlining aim is to deliver high-quality patient care at all times.
- You will not be able to progress to Band 3 Senior HCSW until the requirements are met and you have completed the critical care competencies.

North Bristol NHS Trust employs over 12,000 staff providing healthcare to the residents of Bristol, South Gloucestershire and North Somerset from our award-winning hospital building at Southmead. We are the regional Major Trauma Centre, and an internationally recognised centre of excellence in a range of services and major specialities.

North Bristol NHS Trust values all people as individuals. We aim to be an anti-discriminatory organisation and are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We welcome applicants from all underrepresented groups.

Please see the job description attached for a full list of role responsibilities.

North Bristol NHS Trust is committed to offering excellent career development through tailored education pathways:
If you have no care experience - you will complete our Principles of Care induction programme, which includes the Care Certificate. You will commence your Senior Healthcare Support Worker development programme once you have sufficent experience and are ready to learn the clinical skills required for this role. This will be a minimum of 5 months into your career at NBT. Our learning and development team may recommend an apprenticeship as the most suitable pathway however this will be discussed with you during induction.

If you have at least 6 months care experience - on starting with us, you will go through a Senior Healthcare Support development programme. The length of this training will be determined by your experience, qualifications and readiness to perform clinical duties, but could be in little as 8 weeks. Our learning and development team may recommend an apprenticeship as the most suitable pathway however this will be discussed with you during your induction.
