An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit a Band 3 Generic Health Care Support Worker on a temporary basis to cover Maternity Leave. The post is within the multi-disciplinary Community Resource Team based in Wrexham. The Community Resource Team ethos is to focus on supporting patients home earlier from hospital with an individualised package of care to meet their needs.
