As an integrated Trust, Lancashire and South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust (LSCFT) delivers a comprehensive range of services, including:

  • Extensive community physical health and well-being services for children and adults, covering prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term condition management.

Trosolwg o'r swydd

In line with recent UK Government updates, please be aware that from 9 April 2025, the minimum salary threshold for Skilled Worker visas, including the Health and Care Visa route, has increased to £25,000 per year. 

This applies to roles paid in accordance with NHS pay bands, meaning entry-level Band 3 positions no longer meet the criteria for sponsorship.
If you require visa sponsorship to work in the UK, you will be asked to provide further information during the application process to confirm that you meet the updated eligibility requirements.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to recruit energetic, compassionate, caring and flexible individuals to join The Harbour in the role of a Band 3 Health Care Support Worker.

Our team looks forward to welcoming confident, approachable and empathetic individuals who are able to demonstrate compassion and understanding towards people who are in a challenging phase of their journey, and who are willing to support and assist them towards their recovery.
