Outstanding Career

Family and Surgical Division

Healthcare Assistant - Outpatients

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated Band 2 Healthcare Assistant with excellent communication skills to work as part of the Outpatient nursing team on and 'as and when' basis. This role is to assist the current nursing team with additional clinics due to the Outpatient waiting list created by Covid-19.

Outpatient's is a diverse, multidisciplinary environment which requires flexible and adaptable skills, an aptitude to learn and a motivation to develop your own skills.

If you are a dynamic individual who enjoys a challenge and would like to join a team who are passionate about providing high quality care to their patients, then we want to hear from you.

The successful candidate will be enthusiastic, motivated and committed to give high quality nursing care and be able to work autonomously as well as part of a team. You will consistently ensure that a patient's privacy, dignity and psychological well-being is maintained, and at all times, the care given is patient centred.

You need to have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. We require individuals who are forward thinking, well organised and with a positive attitude towards flexibility and change.

The successful candidate will be required to rotate through the Outpatients areas, such as Women's health, Medical / Surgical and the Robert White Centre, ENT, Ophthalmology and Orthopaedics. The Outpatient nursing team covers both Dorset County Hospital and Weymouth Community Hospital clinics, and therefore the ability to travel between sites is essential. Recent Outpatient Experience would be an advantage but not essential.

The working pattern is flexible, in order to meet the needs of the service with a variety of week days and weekends available.
