Doctors Assistant

3 weeks ago


St LeonardsonSea, United Kingdom East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust Full time

We are looking to appoint a doctors assistant to work on our MacDonald Frailty Ward at Conquest Hospital. This is a Band 3 role open to staff from a Healthcare Assistant background.

The role is designed to assist Doctors with the routine aspects of their work that can be delegated, such as carrying out some clinical procedures, completing paperwork, filing results, assessing patients using pro-formas, and communicating with patients, relatives and other staff. This will allow medical staff to concentrate on more complex patient care.

The role will be based on one of three Frailty wards at Conquest hospital, principally helping the junior doctors with their work. National audits indicate that Junior Doctors have an increasing workload with a lot of both clinical and administrative duties that could be undertaken by other clinical support staff.

To support the work load we are looking for established and dynamic individuals from a clinical support background to undertake these roles. Applicants should be keen, adaptable, and able to think on their feet, and possess good writing, computer and communication skills. Applicants should also be willing to accept the challenge of a new role whilst being aware of patient safety and the limits of their own competence.

The successful applicant will be supported to undertake the Doctors' Assistant apprenticeship

We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work

We provide safe, compassionate and high quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by 7000 + members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye and Uckfield, over 100 community sites and in people’s own homes.

In 2020 the Care Quality Commission rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’. Eastbourne DGH rated ‘Good’.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once in a lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.

Please refer to the job description attached.
