Our Senior Health Care Assistants work as part of a large team comprising Health Care Assistants at Band 2 & 3, Nursing Associates (Band 4), Staff Nurses (Band 5) and District Nurses (Band 6). The Trust offers the prospect of being able to demonstrate experience and skills in a fast paced, ever changing environment, as well as access to a huge range of learning and training opportunities and support form a mentor and our clinical educators.
We are looking for dynamic, innovative and enthusiastic individuals, with a desire to play an active part in the provision of high quality nursing care within the community setting. We want to recruit caring and motivated Senior Health Care Assistants (band 3) to provide the best possible care to our patients. Previous experience of caring for people at home and a commitment to providing care to a high standard is essential.
We have nursing teams based in the following sites:
North Hub- based at Haxby Health Centre
Selby/South Hub based Selby Hospital, Tadcaster Health Centre or Sherburn in Elmet
