About The Role


UNLOCK YOUR BEST WORK LIFE

+ make a difference for every patient

We're looking for a caring and motivated Healthcare Assistant to join our Inpatient Ward team at Practice Plus Group. This is a rewarding role where you'll play a key part in delivering safe, high-quality, patient-focused care.

Our ward provides services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so you'll be working shifts on a rota basis, including:

* Day shifts: 07:00 – 19:30
* Occasional night shifts: 19:00 – 07:30
* Shifts include weekends and bank holidays

This is a great opportunity to build on your existing care experience and gain valuable skills within a supportive and professional hospital environment.


What you'll be doing


As our Healthcare Assistant, you'll be an important part of the team, supporting patients and working alongside nurses and clinicians. Your responsibilities will include:

* Assisting patients with personal care, mobility, nutrition, rest and recovery.
* Recording vital signs such as temperature, pulse and blood pressure.
* Supporting patients through investigations and procedures, ensuring dignity and respect.
* Helping to maintain a clean, safe and welcoming environment on the ward.
* Updating care plans, charts and patient records accurately.
* Communicating effectively with patients, families and colleagues to provide reassurance and support.
* Assisting with ward administration tasks, such as greeting patients and answering calls.

Training and development opportunities will be provided so you can grow your skills and confidence in the role.


What we'll look for in you


We're seeking someone who is:

* Experienced in caring for others (within healthcare, care homes, or through personal experience).
* A good communicator, with a kind, polite and professional manner.
* Able to remain calm and organised, even under pressure.
* Flexible and happy to work a rota including days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.
* Motivated to deliver high standards of care and be a supportive team member.

Desirable (but not essential): NVQ Level 2 in Health & Social Care, or previous experience working in a hospital environment.

What you can expect in return;

* A salary of £24,233 per annum
* An extensive range of wellbeing and lifestyle benefits
* 25 days annual leave (increasing with service) plus bank holidays
* Flexible shifts that enable you to work around other commitments
* The support you need to grow in your role
