You'll communicate in a sensitive and compassionate manner with patients, relatives and other members of the multi-disciplinary team, working flexibly across a range of day and night shifts over 7 days a week
Working under the supervision of Registered Nurses and within Trust guidelines and protocols, you'll assist the Nursing team in delivering the excellent standard of patient care that you would expect for yourself and your loved ones.
Your main duties will involve supporting patients with their personal care needs, including mobilising, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating and drinking.
Following on the job training and assessment, you'll learn how to undertake a range of delegated, clinical care duties that include recording patient observations and changes to patient clinical conditions.
