About the Role

This trainee plaster technician job isn’t your average support role. It’s a chance to step directly into a training-led route toward becoming a registered plaster technician.

It’s hands-on, practical, and people-first. The post holder will assist in applying, modifying, and removing a range of casts, providing tailored care to patients in emergency, inpatient, and outpatient settings. When not in the plaster room, they’ll work as an Assistant Practitioner / HCA, keeping their skills sharp and supporting the clinical team.

Key Responsibilities

• Apply and remove a wide range of casts and braces for patients
• Support clinics as an HCA when not assigned to the plaster room

• Work closely with AHPs and medical staff for seamless patient care
