A healthcare assistant, also known as an HCA, plays a vital role in caring for people. They can make a real difference to someone’s quality of life.
In a healthcare assistant role, you’re likely to carry out a number of duties from helping to feed and wash a patient, assist with testing urine or blood to perform ECG’s (with training).
You do need to have at least **3- 6 months professional experience**, you do need to have is compassion for other people, the ability to learn on the job, and if you want to progress in the clinical field the relevant training. If you have these skills, you can undertake this rewarding job. We expect good literacy and numeracy skills. If you have a healthcare qualification, such as BTEC or NVQ there is room to progress in the job role.
Healthcare assistant duties can vary depending where you are working. Some of the duties include;
- Serving meals and helping to feed patients.
- Helping people to move around.
- Toileting.
- Making beds
- Talking to patients and making them comfortable.
- Monitoring patients’ conditions by taking temperatures, pulse, respirations and weight.
The job of healthcare assistant is a demanding one, so you need to be prepared for the ‘ups’ and ‘downs’ of the job.
As an HCA you might be involved with looking after patients with mental health issues, who are terminally ill or suffer from dementia depending on your role and your setting. So, be prepared and be strong, as you might be caring for patients who make demands on your time or require ‘end of life’ care (better known as ‘palliative care’).
This type of care involves the HCA bringing a great deal of compassion, patience and dedication to the role and the patient.
To be a healthcare assistant, you'll need to be
- caring and kind
- cheerful and friendly
- willing to be hands-on with patients
- willing to do personal care tasks (washing, toileting, etc)
- able to follow instructions and procedures
- able to work in a team but use their own initiative

- communication skills, including listening
- organisation skills
- observational skills
What is the best part of being a healthcare assistant?
Being a healthcare assistant can be a very rewarding experience, as it is a ‘people facing’ profession. An HCA is very often working with the elderly, infants and young people who need help for whatever reason.
