Job overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen at Monnow Vale Integrated Health and Social Care Facility on Trefynwy Ward, a 19-bed GP-led unit. We are seeking a compassionate and motivated Health Care Support Worker to join our dedicated and professional nursing team, providing high-quality care and support to our patients and helping to deliver excellent nursing care in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Main duties of the job

Unfortunately, we are unable to provide Certificates of Sponsorship for this role, as it does not currently meet the Home Office eligibility criteria. Therefore, applicants who require sponsorship will not be eligible for shortlisting or interview.

Trefynwy Ward is a friendly and supportive team seeking to recruit enthusiastic individuals who are passionate about delivering high-quality patient care. We are looking for candidates who are committed to providing excellent care and support to patients, their families, and carers within a hospital environment.

The successful applicant will ideally have strong written and verbal communication skills, along with basic computer literacy. They will be a positive team player, adaptable to change, and committed to supporting colleagues and contributing to continuous service improvement.

This post is currently advertised at Band 2. The role is under review within the Health Board as part of a national review and may, in future, progress to Band 3 with an updated job description.
