Healthcare Assistant - Trauma Unit

We have an exciting opportunity on Trauma 2 for a Health Care Assistant, who will work alongside dedicated staff to deliver the best care to our Trauma patients within RCHT.

A Healthcare Assistant is no ordinary job and it is not for an ordinary person. We need caring, supportive people who love helping others and can come to work with a positive attitude and a friendly smile. If that sounds like you, then we guarantee you will leave at the end of each shift feeling proud of the work you have done to support patients to feel and be at their best.

Working in the NHS is about real work with real people. It takes flexibility, commitment and compassion, but in return we can offer you a rewarding career where you can really make a difference.

With strong team working skills, you will be able to demonstrate the values that are important to us, communicating well with both colleagues and patients. We are open to your ideas for how to improve the services we offer; without compromising on quality and always treating patients and team‑mates with respect and dignity.
