Job Advert
What would you like for Christmas? Could it be a new permanent position with one of Fife’s largest and most flexible employers? Did you know that if you apply now for the role of HCSW Band 3, presents may not be the only things you have wrapped up by Christmas?
Healthcare Support Workers play a vital role in our clinical team; it’s no exaggeration to say that we simply couldn’t run our services without the hundreds of Healthcare Support Workers we currently employ at different levels across the organisation, all working incredibly effectively in patient-facing roles.
As a Healthcare Support Worker, you will work within the nursing team, monitoring patient’s health and maintaining and updating their records. You will also provide hands-on care, helping patient’s wash, shower or dress and you will help them to eat their meals.
Depending on where you work, you’ll be working with a range of people, from patients and families, to nursing colleagues, doctors and carers. We currently have openings across our acute hospitals, in the community and in nursing homes and we can work with you to find the correct work environment for you, one which best complements your skill mix.
To qualify for the Band 3 level Healthcare Support Worker position, we are looking for people with relevant clinical experience, who have completed SVQ Level II Health & Social Care or equivalent, and who are willing to undertake (or who already hold) SVQ level III Health & Social Care. If this is not you, then you may still wish to consider applying for a Band 2 Healthcare Support Worker position.
These roles incorporate access to further education, training, development and support and you will be supported to progress your career through a well-defined career progression pathway. NHS Fife provides healthcare to a population of more than 370,000 people and we currently employ around 9,000 staff. That’s why in addition to benefits like pension contributions, increasing holidays in line with length of service, and career progression support, we also endeavour to work with staff and ensure their roles work for them and those closest to them. By choosing to join NHS Fife, you are choosing to make a real difference.
Start something new for 2022. Apply now.
