Health Care Support Worker - Fixed term: 12 months (30 hours)
Bluebell Ward is a 25-bedded community-based unit focused on discharge to assess and complex discharges. Patients are discharged to our unit when they are medically fit to leave hospital but they cannot go home as they may need more rehabilitation, or equipment in their home or support with care.
Our focus always is home first and we have a multi-disciplinary team of nurses, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, discharge coordinators, social workers, and health care support workers to ensure our patients receive the best care and support to get them home as soon as possible.
Important Notice on Visa Sponsorship Eligibility
Please note that whilst the trust does offer sponsorship this role is unfortunately not eligible for visa sponsorship under the UK Health and Care Worker visa route. This is due to the position not meeting the minimum salary threshold of £25,000 per annum and/or the required skill level set by UK Visas and Immigration.
We appreciate your interest in this opportunity and encourage applications from candidates who already have the right to work in the UK.

It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
