37.5 hours per week
Based at Kettering Dialysis Unit
We are looking for an enthusiastic well motivated Health Care Assistant to work in our Nurse led Haemodialysis Satellite Unit based in Kettering.
You must have experience working in the NHS and ideally hold an NVQ 3 or equivalent. Previous experience in renal / Haemodialysis is desirable but not essential, as training will be given. The team that you will be joining is dedicated to training and promoting your continuous professional development.
The successful candidate will be flexible, demonstrate excellent communication skills, a commitment to personal and professional development and a desire to provide a high standard of care delivery to chronically ill patients.
The unit is open 24 hours Mon/Wed/Fri and 07:00-19:00 Tue/Thu/Sat. We close on Sundays.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

- Early 07:00-15:00 or 07:00-18:00
- Mid 11:00-19:00
- Late 12:00-23:00 or 15:00-23:00 (Mon/Wed/Fri only)
- Night 21:00-08:00 (Mon/Wed/Fri only)
Staff ideally need to be flexible across all shifts.
