We are looking for
a compassionate, dedicated, and experienced Senior Healthcare Support Worker (Band 3) to join our busy Emergency Department. In this critical role, you will support our healthcare professionals in delivering high-quality, patient-focused care to individuals attending the ED.
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.
