Are you the type of person who respects other people, treats them fairly and accepts them for who they are?

Do you like getting things done? And are you known for being hard-working and reliable?

Here’s what one of our Health Care Assistant says about the job:

“For me the job means putting yourself out there for patients and the team – truly caring about what you do and the impact you have".

We are looking for individuals who are available to work full-time and flexible (including evenings and shift work). You will be expected to integrate quickly with an established team of staff to deliver quality care.

If you are shortlisted, our recruitment and selection process for all candidates is as follows:

You will be invited to attend an assessment Centre, whereby you will undertake an hour-long numeracy and literacy test.

If you pass this test, you will be invited for a personal interview with the Theatre/ Recovery Lead Practitioners.

This process helps you identify whether we are the right employer for you and helps us identify if you are the right candidate for us.
