Are you looking for the next step in your healthcare career? Do you want to develop, work with people and really make a difference? Could this be the training opportunity and role you have been looking for?

Within NHS Tayside we are expanding opportunities for Health Care Support Workers to develop.

As a Healthcare Support Worker you will be working at the heart of our multidisciplinary teams delivering high quality, patient-centred care. You will be supervised and report to a Registered Nurse. This will require you to be able to communicate effectively with a broad range of individuals, both verbally and in writing, to share our commitment to maintaining high standards in everything we do, and to demonstrate that you can work effectively within a team that behaves in accordance with our vision and values.

We are seeking to recruit people who are committed to delivering outstanding patient care, taking pride in what they do and are motivated to learn and develop. A caring, professional manner and excellent communication skills are essential. You must work well in a high pressure environment and have the ability to adapt to challenging situations.

The post will be based in Acute Medicine for the Elderly East (Ward 16), which is a 24 bedded unit that supports a 48-72 hour patient journey. This area provides inpatient care which is patient-centred and aims to maximise each patient’s potential for recovery, supported by an excellent Multi Disciplinary Team.

You will be required to comply with the Code of Conduct for Healthcare Support Workers in Scotland throughout your employment. Information on the Healthcare Support Worker Regulations can be found on NHS Tayside microsite on Staffnet>Our Websites>Healthcare Support Workers.
