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.
