Being a Healthcare Assistant (HCA) is a wonderful & really valued role and we know that as we receive feedback from our very own HCAs all the time. You’ll play a key role in the care of our patients, helping with the day-to-day needs of patients through helping with personal care, meals and mobility, as well as performing checks such as taking temperatures, pulse and respiration rate. Sometimes the role will be tough, you may see and be involved in some difficult things involving our patients, be busy and deliver some very direct personal care. We don’t want to shy away from that and we do know that this part of the role isn’t for everyone, however, for the right people, providing all kinds of support to our patients to meet their needs will be what makes you thrive. We do help train you all to deal with all aspects of the role and also offer pastoral support to everyone. We have over 10,000 staff in our organisation, all working towards the same aim which is to ensure our patients receive the very best care. We can’t promise you will meet them all, but you will work with dozens of different people all performing different roles so you have the chance to learn so much.

We’ll support you on a development pathway if you want to go on to progress to a Senior HCA Level 3, a Trainee Nurse Associate Level 4 or a Registered Nurse in the future, with opportunities to apply for nurse training at one of our partner education providers (subject to entry requirements). We are teaching hospitals, so there is a strong educational focus here, however we also know that some people want to undertake a role and thrive in it without feeling the need to undertake additional study. That is ok too, there is never any pressure on any colleagues, we will support you in whatever way works best for you. We work on a shift basis as our patients need our care and attention 24 hours a day 7 days a week so everyone gets involved working different shifts to ensure our patients receive the best care. You will usually work a four shift system; early, late, twilight and nights. We cannot wait to welcome you to our interview and assessments days to show us what you are made of!
