We're looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic Apprentice Senior Healthcare Support Worker to join our Respiratory Ward 28A.

* Helping patients feel comfortable and move around
monitoring patients and performing basic health checks
* Washing, dressing patients and helping them go to the toilet
* Sserving meals and helping to feed patients
* Documenting care provided to a high standard
* Once progressed into a Senior HCSW (Band 3) role, you will carry out a range of clinical duties with minimal/no supervision, including for example, blood pressure monitoring, oxygen saturation levels, body temperature, pulse rate and respiration rate, glucose monitoring, collection and testing of urine samples/faecal samples/sputum samples and wound swabs
