About the Role

This role blends both hands-on care and essential admin work. As a Healthcare Assistant, you’ll be part of the Minor Operations team, helping patients feel safe and supported before, during and after surgery.

It’s a role where no two days look quite the same, and every task ties back to patient care. The small details matter here because they add up to safe, smooth, impactful work.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and maintain procedure rooms so patients receive care in safe environments
• Provide reassurance and guidance during surgery so patients feel supported
• Share post-operative information that helps recovery feel less daunting
• Remove sutures and offer clinical advice to patients and colleagues as needed
• Participate in assessments and follow-up appointments to complete patient pathways
• Ensure consumables and equipment are available and ready, making services seamless
• Process patient results and enquiries to keep care flowing without delay
• Promote infection control and health and safety so everyone stays protected
