Nursing Assistant Opportunity
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic individual to join the Southeast and Central Community Nursing Team as a Nursing Assistant.
The Trust is committed to provide opportunities for development for all staff to help reach their full potential and if not already obtained there is an expectation that the Care Certificate Programme will be completed. We also provide training opportunities to enhance clinical skills required to provide high and safe quality care in line with the Trusts values.
Responsibilities
The Healthcare Assistant within a community setting works as a member of a wider community nursing team to deliver clinical care to patients including the performance of diagnostic tests and the delivery of personal and delegated nursing care to individuals with chronic health problems. Although the post holder receives support and supervision from registered nurses, she/he is expected to work unsupervised in the patient's own home, the surgery, and in residential home environments. The health care assistant will have delegated responsibility to order and rotate stock to support the team. The post holder will also undertake administrative tasks allocated by the team lead.
