An exciting opportunity has arisen. We are looking for an enthusiastic, hard-working, and friendly team member to cover maternity leave within our brand new Paediatric Outpatients Department as a Band 3 Nursing Assistant.

We expect you to accurately record, collate, monitor, and provide feedback on patient information to nursing and/or medical staff, initiating actions as necessary.
The post holder must have excellent interpersonal skills, be empathetic, self-motivated, proactive, and able to work as part of a team. You should also be able to develop practical skills such as phlebotomy and have a holistic view of patient care.
The successful applicant must have NVQ III or equivalent, or be currently working towards this, and have previous experience in a caring background. You should demonstrate good communication and organizational skills, plus the ability to work as part of a team.

This is an increase of nearly 10,000 compared to the previous year when there were 494,387 patient attendances.
