Our Bankworkers enable HMT to manage fluctuating demand, such as covering staff absences, busy periods, or unexpected workload increases whilst offering you the flexibility to pick up shifts as available.
This is a bank role. As a Bank worker, you can choose shifts that suit your availability while supporting HMT in delivering essential care. This arrangement provides valuable experience, competitive pay, and the chance to make a meaningful impact, whether you're looking for temporary work, a supplementary income, or stepping into a healthcare career.
