Clinical Support Worker
The closing date is 21 June 2026.
Join a compassionate, dedicated team at Sherwood Forest Hospitals and play a vital role in delivering outstanding care to women attending our specialist Colposcopy and Hysteroscopy Outpatient Department. This is an exciting opportunity for a caring, motivated, and patient‑focused individual to support clinicians in providing high‑quality diagnostic and treatment services within our Women’s and Children’s Division. As a Clinical Support Worker, you will be at the heart of the patient journey – offering reassurance, dignity, and compassionate care to women undergoing sensitive procedures and investigations.
Working closely with nurses, consultants, and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will assist with clinical procedures, patient observations, specimen handling, equipment preparation, and maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming environment. You will also contribute to the smooth and efficient running of clinics through stock management, patient coordination, and accurate documentation.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a team environment, communicates confidently, and is passionate about making a positive difference to patient experience. You will receive ongoing support, training, and development opportunities to help you grow your clinical skills and career within the NHS.
If you are compassionate, adaptable, and committed to delivering exceptional patient‑centred care, we would love to hear from you.
