• Drug and alcohol screening (including Chain of Custody testing)
• Urinalysis to screen for systemic conditions
• Assisting with mobility and posture assessments
• Simple wound care, dressing changes, suture and clip removal
  
  

You’ll also provide emotional and practical support to patients, ensure robust infection control measures, maintain accurate records, and play a vital role in the smooth running of our clinical service.

• Previous direct patient care experience in a healthcare setting
• Care Certificate (or working towards) and ideally NVQ Level 2 / RQF Diploma in Health & Social Care
