Bank Healthcare Assistant Hca
3 days ago
We are looking for experienced Healthcare Assistants and Support Workers to join our Hospital Bank.
As a Bank Healthcare Assistant you will need to cover vacant ad-hoc shifts through out the hospital, so you would be working in many different areas and with different teams. Working on the Bank can be very demanding for this reason and it is preferable that you have experience in a healthcare role.
Working via the Bank gives you the flexibility to get a real work life balance and work when it suits you.
Healthcare Assistant shifts cover 24 hours 7 days a week and will include weekends, nights and Bank Holidays. Shifts are normally 12 hours and are usually 7am - 7pm, and 7pm to 7am.
It is important to consider that some aspects of healthcare work can be distressing and unpleasant but it can be an incredibly rewarding role.
You will be expected to help patients with personal care (such as washing or dressing) without being embarrassed or feeling awkward. You will also need to be able to communicate empathetically and sympathetically to relatives and care for our patients who can be very unwell.
**PLEASE NOTE**: You must be able to work a minimum of two shifts a week on the Bank (unless you are a student nurse).
Bank workers must complete role specific training prior to booking shifts. All training must be completed within 4 weeks of receiving your conditional offer.
Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides a full range of hospital and community services for people across East Cheshire (population 399K) and West Cheshire and Chester (population 357K). The Trust provides high quality planned and emergency care, cardiac, critical care, child health, maternity services and intermediate care at Leighton Hospital in Crewe, Victoria Infirmary in Northwich, and Elmhurst Intermediate Care Centre in Winsford.
The Trust provides over 500 beds and employs over 5,100 members of staff. A comprehensive range of community services is provided across 26 medical centres and schools through our Central Cheshire Integrated Care Partnership.
We have played, and continue to play, a proactive role in the development of Integrated Care plans across Cheshire & Merseyside and our local Cheshire East and Cheshire West Place-based systems. We believe, and it is the cornerstone of our five-year Trust Strategy, there is the opportunity to progress innovative, responsive and effective care in the best setting for the patient, be it in the hospital or out in the community.
At Mid Cheshire, our mission is to inspire hope and provide unparalleled care for the people and communities of Cheshire, helping them to enjoy life to the fullest.
**Job Description**:
Healthcare Assistants carry out a wide range of care duties directly with the patient, and their relatives/carers.
These duties are carried out after training (which we will provide), under the direction of a professionally qualified practitioner (such as a Nurse) and can include the following tasks:
- Maintaining dignity whilst helping patients to wash or shower.
- Serving food and, if necessary, helping to feed patients.
- Making and changing beds.
- Turning patients who are confined to bed to avoid pressure damage.
- Talking with patients to help them feel less lonely or anxious.
- Helping patients with mobility problems and assisting patients to rehabilitate to their discharge destination.
- Giving out and collecting bedpans and assisting with the toileting needs of our patients.
