Health Care Assistant

Non AfC role

Why work for Provide Wellbeing 

Provide Wellbeing is an organisation that exists to bridge the gap between private healthcare and the NHS.  

At Provide Wellbeing, we provide both NHS and self-pay healthcare services. Our self-pay route is there to fill a gap where people are unable to access NHS services as they are not eligible, they want to choose to be seen rather than waiting, or they live in areas where certain services aren’t provided by the NHS.

We want all of our customers to be able to say they felt cared for as an individual, and they felt truly listened to and respected.

Job overview

The Healthcare Assistant will support the clinical team in delivery of services, providing nursing care as a skilled member of the Minor Operations Team and carrying out all associated administration work. The role will be split between both clinical and administrative.

Main duties of the job

·       Work as a member of the Minor Operations team in the smooth delivery of our services to patients, (including preparation and maintenance of minor ops room standards, patient care during surgery, provision of post-operative patient information, removal of sutures and provision of general clinical advice to patients and colleagues as required).

·       Participate in pre and post procedure activity, including minor surgery assessments and follow-up appointments within the patient pathway.

·       Maintain and promote a safe working environment for patients, visitors and staff, with reference to infection control and health and safety.

·       Ensure that any rooms used by Provide Wellbeing are left clean and tidy and that all waste is disposed of in the correct manner.

·       Work with the Senior Nurse and the Service Manager to ensure the completion of administration activity and availability of drugs, consumable supplies and equipment.

·       Collation and distribution of consumables for satellite clinics in a timely manner.

·       Assist in the processing of patient test results, the triage and processing of post operative enquires and support to the patient booking process.
