Clinical Support Worker - Minster Ward

Step into a hands-on, rewarding role where compassion, teamwork, and clinical care come together to make a real difference every day. As a Clinical Support Worker, you'll be at the frontline of patient care--supporting individuals through their surgical journey and helping them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for at every stage.

Working alongside Registered Nurses on Minster Ward, you'll play a vital role in delivering high-quality pre- and post-operative care. From assisting with personal care and monitoring vital signs to carrying out clinical tasks such as ECGs, phlebotomy, and basic wound care, your contribution ensures patients receive attentive, personalised support when they need it most.

This is more than a support role--it's an opportunity to build meaningful connections with patients and be part of a close-knit multidisciplinary team. You'll help create a clean, safe, and reassuring environment while responding with empathy and professionalism in both routine and emotionally challenging situations.

If you're organised, compassionate, and ready to be part of a team that puts patient wellbeing at the centre of everything, this role offers the chance to develop your skills while making a genuine impact on people's lives every single day.
