About the Role
The HCSW will work under the supervision of registered nurses and the shift co-ordinator to deliver high-quality, compassionate care to patients, with a particular focus on those receiving cancer treatment.
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
This role is designed to support learning and development, providing structured training through the Care Certificate and Level 2 Apprenticeship programme, while contributing to the safe and effective running of the clinical area.
As an integral member of the nursing team, the apprentice will:
- Provide safe, respectful and efficient nursing care in line with agreed care plans.
- Develop an understanding of the needs of patients with cancer and the various treatment pathways.
- Contribute to maintaining an efficient, safe, clean and supportive environment for patients, carers and colleagues.
Apprenticeships include time away from working for specialist training. You’ll study to gain professional knowledge and skills.
