About the Role

This is more than just a ward job. As a Health Care Support Worker in the Acute Medical Unit (AMU), you’ll be at the centre of urgent admissions from the Emergency Department.

Each task, however routine, plays a part in keeping patients safe and supported in vulnerable moments.

You’ll work hand in hand with nurses, doctors, and ward clerks, learning the rhythm of a high-paced environment. It’s a role that tests resilience but rewards with the chance to see the immediate impact of your care.

• Assist with personal care to maintain dignity and comfort
• Take and record observations to support clinical decisions
• Help patients with meals and hydration to aid recovery
• Support wound dressings and safe waste disposal to uphold safety standards
• Keep PPE and supplies stocked so the team can run smoothly
• Document patient notes accurately to ensure seamless care
• Communicate with the wider team to coordinate admissions and discharges
