Health Care Support Workers (HCSW)

carreer image If you care for others without a second thought, the role of a Health Care Support Worker is just a start. The Health Support Worker role provides variety, the chance to learn lots of new skills, and the reward of seeing your work make a difference for patients.

The role is mainly practical with tasks including washing and dressing patients, making beds and serving meals. You might learn more technical skills, like how to take blood, or check a patient’s blood pressure, temperature or heart rate. 

Most roles are shift based which can mean working long hours in one day, there is also enhanced pay for unsocial hours. HCA/HCSW roles are available across the Integrated Care System in a number of locations from Community to Acute Hospitals and from Primary care to Social care. Through it all, we’ll want you to do what comes naturally: support and encourage our patients on their journey to recovery; helping them to build their confidence and independence through practical and caring support.

Experience is not required; we will invest in your future by supporting you to develop your career and skills.
