Please note, this role does not currently meet the salary requirement for certificate of sponsorship. From the 9th April 2025, the minimum salary required for a Skilled Worker visa became £25,000 per year. While this role may be offered at a higher point on the pay scale depending on relevant NHS experience, most new starters are appointed at the bottom of the band, which does not meet the new salary threshold.
No two days are the same as a Healthcare Support Worker. You’ll support patients through their treatment, sharing their experiences and making a real difference in their healthcare journey.
It’s a really special role where you’ll be part of a tight-knit team of healthcare professionals and have the privilege of sharing unique life experiences daily. With the ongoing support of your team, and our world-class training and development, you’ll be able to progress your career into a variety of healthcare roles.
What matters most in this role is that you have a passion for helping others and enjoy working as part of a passionate team – the qualifications you may have are less important to us.
You’ll be working in a hands-on, fast-paced environment where communication is vital – nowhere else will a compassionate nature have such an impact.
The successful candidate will need good communication skills, demonstrating politeness, courtesy and sensitivity in providing compassionate care for patients and their relatives.
Practice safe standards following trust guidance to provide effective, holistic patient care, including awareness of normal ranges of vital signs and supporting patients through the cardiology pathway.
