An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Emergency Department at the West Suffolk Hospital Foundation Trust. We are seeking to recruit Band 3 Clinical Support Workers into our team. We are looking for workers with an experience of working in an acute care setting. Our main goal at the WSH Emergency Department is to provide quality patient centred care, whilst striving as a team and as a Trust, to achieve the national ED targets.

We have recently undertaken a major expansion project which opened in early 2021. This together with a Rapid Assessment Area means we can ensure we meet all our patients’ needs and ensure optimised service delivery. It doesn’t stop here We have a dedicated and enthusiastic ED work force that includes Acute Clinical Practitioners (ACPs) and Emergency Nurse Practitioners (ENPs) who can see, treat and discharge their own patients, assisting the medical ED team in delivering excellent care.

The role of the Health Care Assistant (HCA) in the department is to assist the registered nurses (or other healthcare practitioners) in providing high quality patient care. To maintain patients' privacy and dignity at all times and provide care in a compassionate and sensitive manner. To be an effective part of the multi-disciplinary team contributing to the departmental objectives. To continue to develop and maintain competencies in nursing tasks to maintain high quality safe care.

The Post holder will be expected to contribute to housekeeping and other ward / department duties as required, e.g. general tidiness, re-determined stock levels are met and clinical equipment is clean, working and stored correctly.
