An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Health Care Support Worker to join our Surgical and Vascular teams here at QEUH.

In our 28 bedded wards, you will provide care and meet the needs of a wide variety of patients within your remit. You will also be required to rotate to the 7 bedded Vascular annex. This may include complex care needs including pre and post-operative care and early rehabilitation.

A fundamental part of the role is to communicate with the Multidisciplinary team in enhancing the patient journey.
