Healthcare Assistant – Ward (Bank)

£12.33 per hour
Nuffield Health is the UK’s largest Healthcare Charity. We’re here to look after the nation’s health. And a big part of this is about creating the best possible experience for our patients. That’s why we’re looking for someone new to support our colleagues and be there when it matters, helping to deliver the highest standards of care.
As a Bank Healthcare Assistant on the ward at our Shrewsbury Hospital, you’ll show us you’re able to meet deadlines and follow instructions. You have a good telephone manner, and great computer and database skills. And if you’re qualified to NVQ Level 2 or 3, with relevant experience in an acute hospital or care setting, that’s even better. Shifts would be mainly nights and weekends.
As a Bank Healthcare Assistant on the ward, you will:
Put patient care first
Carry out administrative duties
Enjoy time to get to know the people who are our patients
Meet the needs of every individual
Use your organisational skills to make a positive impact
Helping you feel good.
We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy and valued. That’s why we’ve developed a benefits package with you in mind. This includes holiday in line with the working time directive, access to our pension scheme and discounted gym membership at £25.00 a month.
Working on the bank means you are not contracted to a set number of hours per week but instead work on an ad-hoc basis to suit the needs of the business and your availability.
