Nursing Assistant

You will support the clinical team in the delivery of a high standard of care by assisting with and carrying out a range of duties as directed by registered staff. This will be in line with individual care and treatment plans for patients and service users. You will demonstrate an attitude which respects and values patients, service users and their carers ensuring they are at the centre of care and treatment planning.

Experience of working in a care setting is essential. The range of skills you can learn and develop is expansive and varied. Working in this environment can encourage you to become a dynamic, creative, and strong leader as well provide you with the ability to think on your feet, problem solve and manage challenging situations. On our wards we encourage staff to gain further knowledge by enriching their skills through the opportunity to enrol on many of our development and training courses.

As a Nursing Assistant, you'll be at the heart of patient care. Join our team on Pine Ward, which is a 20 bedded adult acute mental health mixed ward based at Hartley Hospital, Southport. You'll be an integral part of a multidisciplinary team, working closely with nurses, doctors, and other healthcare professionals to deliver outstanding person-centred care.
