Make a real difference and build a career in the NHS as a Health Care Support Worker supporting both mental health and physical health services across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. This permanent role (Band 2, £24,465 FTE) offers full- and part-time hours, a structured four‑day induction, on‑the‑job training, recognised care qualifications and access to apprenticeships in nursing and occupational therapy. You’ll work in multidisciplinary teams at sites including Parklands, Lymington, Ravenswood, Bluebird House and The Orchards, gaining practical experience across specialisms while receiving mentoring and ongoing support. The role asks for GCSEs in Maths and English (or equivalent) and a Level 2 qualification or relevant experience; a DBS check is required.
