You will be part of the ward team, supporting registered staff and always acting in the best interests of patients. Strong customer care and a compassionate approach are essential in this patient-facing position.
Standards and professional expectations
As a Trust employee, you must keep to your work commitments, remain trustworthy and reliable, and follow the values of the Trust as well as the Skills for Health Code of Conduct. You should only perform duties you are trained and competent to carry out, and you must understand your own limitations.
