Reference: 2380345
Job summary
University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer an exciting opportunity to join our Trust. We are currently recruiting across multiple wards, and successful candidates will be allocated based on vacancy availability across the Trust.
Job Title: Healthcare Support Worker (Band 2 progressive to Band 3)
Contract Type: Permanent - Candidates must be able to work flexibly across a variety of shifts, including days, nights, weekends and bank holidays.
Under current Home Office rules, this role is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship.

The programme is designed to help you develop new skills, gain valuable healthcare experience and take the next step in your NHS career. If you are already working in a Band 3 HCSW role in the NHS, we will assess your experience and responsibilities against the competencies required for this position. Where these competencies are met, we will match your current pay and banding
This role requires a 9-month training period, so applicants must already have the right to work in the UK for the full duration. If your current visa does not provide at least 9 months of remaining permission to work from the start date, we are unable to progress the application.
Main duties of the job

UHS is rated 'Good' by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
