Are you compassionate, caring and communicative? Would you like to be the best you can be or grow your career in a world-class teaching hospital? We believe our Healthcare Assistant (HCA) roles offer this opportunity.

University Hospital Southampton (UHS) is one of the largest acute teaching trusts in England and provides a wide range of healthcare services to some 1.9 million people living in Southampton and South Hampshire. Our Healthcare Assistants help our nurses and doctors at UHS, by offering the highest standards of personal care and support to our patients.

As Health Care Assistant you’ll work under the guidance of a Registered Nurse or healthcare professional on one of our busy wards or outpatient areas. We will allocate you to the area within the hospital which we feel best meets your skills and our needs following our interview process.

You’ll start your career with us by following a 2-week full-time and in-depth induction that will enable you to complete your Care Certificate, find your feet within the hospital, and quickly embed yourself as part of our team.

Here at UHS, we recognise that Health Care Assistants from different employment backgrounds can bring a breadth of knowledge and new ideas - previous care experience is desirable but NOT essential.

- are able to work a variety of shifts - these include mornings (shifts could start from 7am), short days & long days (shifts are generally 8 - 12 hours long), evenings (till around 8pm) and nights (from around 7pm).
