  Job summary

  We are looking for individuals who can demonstrate a positive "can do" attitude to work, and can demonstrate the qualities required of a caring professional working within the NHS. We are recruiting for caring, positive, and dependable people to join our team in the role of a Bank Hospital Support Assistant.

  H.S.A's are an integral part of the Hospitals operations, working on Wards and Departments providing all of our cleaning and catering responsibilities. A typical day for a H.S.A would include wet mopping, vacuuming, emptying bins, replenishing supplies, cleaning fixtures, furniture and toilet / bathroom areas. If assigned to the catering element you will deliver beverages and meals to our patients and carry out kitchen duties, in ward catering facilities.

  Whilst a comprehensive training package will give you the skills and knowledge to work effectively as a H.S.A, we want to learn from your application how you can meet the minimum of the essential criteria in our person specification, and perhaps even exceed this minimum standard. We support the continuous development of our staff so regular refreshers of training take place.

  The right candidate would be working on a Bank Contract covering various shifts within our Wards and Departments. Shift times will be from 07.00am - 14.30 pm 5 days a week pro rata.

• About the company

  National Health Service (NHS) is the umbrella term for the publicly-funded healthcare systems of the United Kingdom (UK). The founding principles were that services should be comprehensive, universal and free at the point of delivery—a health service based on clinical need, not ability to pay. Each service provides a comprehensive range of health services, free at the point of use for people ordinarily resident in the United Kingdom apart from dental treatment and optical care.
