Our Nursing Assistants take great pride in the essential work we do. That's because we're not just helping patients, we're going the extra mile for them - day in, day out. But more than that, our team's commitment to work with empathy, consideration and dignity means that we're among the best - and most compassionate - in our field.
We are looking to recruit individuals who are dedicated in the delivery of safe, clean and high quality nursing care.
With a passion for helping others and an ability to demonstrate compassion and empathy in your approach to caring for our patients, your support and ‘hands on’ work will offer not only our patients a more positive and reassuring hospital stay, but you; great job satisfaction in knowing your dedication and commitment has made a real difference to both your ward but fundamentally the people you’re caring for.
You Will Need To Have
- Excellent communication skills – in particular listening skills
- A friendly, open, empathetic and compassionate communication style
- A strong ability to engage with patients, visitors and colleagues
- The ability to work well in a team
- Maths & English GCSE C or above (or equivalent qualifications)
Why Join Us?
In essence, it’s not a job for the faint hearted but guarantees to offer you the chance of working in a fantastic team and leaving each day with the satisfaction in knowing you’ve done a great job in delivering an outstanding patient experience. We’re a forward-thinking, innovative and passionate organisation, committed to providing the best possible patient care but we need people like you to remain the best at what we do.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
