Trosolwg o'r swydd

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

 

Please see below for detailed job description of the role.

Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

Are you compassionate, caring, and a great communicator? Are you looking to grow your career in a world-class teaching hospital? Or perhaps you're considering a career change and seeking secure, rewarding employment?
We believe our Healthcare Support Worker (HCSW) role offers exactly that opportunity. Our tailored training programme will support your development and help you thrive in your new role.
We are excited to offer opportunities for Healthcare Assistants to join our Critical Care Department, which includes:
•    General Intensive Care
•    Surgical High Dependency
•    Neuro Intensive Care
•    Cardiac Intensive Care
—all based at University Hospitals Southampton NHS Foundation Trust (UHS).
This is a vital role, supporting critically ill patients and their families. You'll work closely with nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals to deliver the highest standards of care in a fast-paced and emotionally challenging environment.
If you're ready to begin your journey in healthcare, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll start with a full-time, one-week induction programme, which includes completing your Care Certificate and helps you settle into the hospital and become part of our team from day one. We also offer ongoing training and development to help you reach your full potential.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
