Salisbury, United Kingdom Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Saturday 4th February 2023 9am to 12noon - HCA Recruitment Event

Are you a caring and dedicated person looking for a new employment opportunity? Are you looking for a career that will positively impact your life as well as others?

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust are holding an HCA recruitment open morning on Saturday 4th February at the Education Centre Level 5:
9am to 9:45am - Open job fair where you can speak to the departments about opportunities and the service they provide. There will also be live training demonstrations from the education team.

9:45am to 10am - Welcome talk about the Trust and HCA role

10am to 12noon - Group interview sessions

You’ll start your career with us by following a 5 day full-time and in-depth induction training programme, within the hospital, so you can hit the ground running and ensure our patients get the care they need and deserve.

We know at Salisbury that Health Care Assistants from different employment backgrounds can bring a range of knowledge and new ideas - previous care experience is desirable but NOT essential. Our fantastic colleagues can teach you the required skills if you share our Trust values, are ready to learn and:

- You can demonstrate that you have excellent communication and interpersonal skills
- You are happy to carry out a variety of tasks (detailed below) - including personal hygiene care
- You can work a variety of shifts - these include mornings (shifts could start from 7am), short days & long days (shifts are generally 10 - 12 hours long), evenings (till around 8pm) and nights (from around 7pm)

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust (SFT) is an innovative hospital with a proud heritage and over 250 years of experience behind us. Here we’re driven to deliver an outstanding experience for everyone and have been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment we continue to provide for our patients and also our staff.

We are an acute Trust, rated “Good” by the CQC, with a track record of high performance providing regional and super regional specialist services such as: Burns, Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery, Wessex Regional Genetics Laboratory, Wessex Rehabilitation, Spires Cleft Centre and the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre. We have about 470 beds and employ over 4000 staff.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. We think working here is pretty rewarding. You can access a range of NHS discounts, receive a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme. On-site benefits include car parking (fee applies), leisure centre, day nursery and holiday play scheme.

As a Healthcare Assistant, being part of a big team on the wards and being able to make a difference to our patients experience and wellbeing is what makes this job role special.

Although some days will be tough and the role isn’t always easy, we believe you’ll find the rewards of providing care to people in need and the support available within the ward teams far outweigh the challenges faced.

Working as an HCA is a fantastic opportunity where you can really start your exciting journey within healthcare and develop over time either by completing bespoke training and development courses or looking to progress with healthcare apprenticeships - all available at Salisbury.
- Washing and dressing patients and assisting in their personal care
- Assisting patients to access and use toilet facilities
- Serving meals and helping to feed patients
- Helping patients to safely move around
- Assisting with bed making, cleaning tasks, errands, or general duties
- Collecting pathological specimens e.g., Urine, faeces, sputum
- Making patients and their families feel comfortable
- Monitoring and reporting patients’ conditions by taking temperatures, pulse, respirations and weight measurements
