Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people within your community? If so, we are looking for individuals, with or without experience in care, to join our busy hospital and care for our patients. We will provide all necessary training; all we ask is that you are a caring and kind person with a genuine desire to help and support our patients by providing exceptional care.
You will not be working alone; you will join one of our dynamic and caring teams, working alongside colleagues including Healthcare Support Workers and registered Nurses. This position is based in the Rehabilitation Centre at Mexborough Montagu Hospital, with working hours from 8am to 8:30pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 5pm on weekends.
You will collaborate with nurses and other healthcare professionals to provide a positive experience for patients and their families during times of need. Your duties may include:
* Transporting patients from various departments to the discharge lounge

* Assisting with patient comfort needs, such as toileting and personal care
* Ensuring patients are supported to eat and drink
* Helping patients mobilise
* Assisting with overall patient comfort
It is important to note that healthcare work can sometimes be distressing or unpleasant. You will be expected to assist patients with personal care confidently and compassionately, communicate sympathetically with patients and distressed relatives, and care for very sick patients.
