Healthcare Support Workers (UHCW)

Do you want to become part of a team who make a difference on a daily basis, providing high quality patient centred care?, The Recruitment centre will involve a basic literacy test and if you are successful, you will go forward to assessments & interview. If you are successful at interview, and there isn't a current vacancy that meets your needs, we'll keep in touch and update you as jobs arise. If we are unable to allocate you to your requirements your application will be withdrawn.
Recruiting to Values:
To ensure that we provide world-class patient care, UHCW recruits people that can demonstrate the Trust's Values and Behaviours in their everyday life. Therefore, if you are invited to interview, you will be undertaking a Values Based Interview, which explores not only what you do but how and why you do it.
Before applying, we encourage you to review the Trust's Values and Behaviours Framework and Values Based Recruitment Factsheet which can be accessed on the right side of this page under the job description.
The Supporting Information Section in your application should therefore reflect your understanding of the Trust's Values and associated Behaviours. You will be expected to provide us with examples from work experience and/or personal life which demonstrate these values through your behaviour.
For further details of the job role please see attached job description.

The Trust is committed to Equal Opportunities within the workplace. All vacancies will be considered for Job Share unless otherwise stated. All applicants who have a disability and who meet the minimum criteria for the job will be interviewed.
