Health Care Support Worker-Medical Assessment Unit inPaisley inPaisley PUBLISHED 27 JUL 2024

Band 3
Applicants should have high professional standards and excellent communication skills.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.

NHS Scotland is reducing their full time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024 but with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment therefore reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37 hour working week immediately from 1 April 2024, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week for a temporary period for which you would be paid until the service you are working in changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns please contact the Recruiting Board.

This post may close early to the volume of response. Please submit your application form as soon as possible.

The shift pattern for this position is 11.5hr shifts, 24/7 days, nights, weekends inclusive.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Medical Assessment Unit in the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Paisley. This role is for Band 3 Health Care Support Worker

MAU is a dynamic and evolving specialty. We are seeking highly motivated and enthusiastic HCSW’s to join our amazing team. Successful applicants should be able to work well within a multidisciplinary team in order to deliver a high standard of patient focused care.
