Healthcare support worker recruitment day - Saturday 18 June 2022

Are you interested in being part of the team at the UK's leading heart and lung hospital and want to work somewhere where you can make a real difference to people’s lives?

As a healthcare support worker in the NHS, you’ll work under the supervision of a healthcare professional, supporting them and helping patients on their journey back to full health. It’s a hands-on role – one minute you could be taking blood and the next lending an ear to an anxious patient. But it’s one of the most rewarding.

No previous health experience is necessary and the opportunities to progress are endless.

Come along to our healthcare support worker recruitment day on Saturday 18 June and you could walk away with a job offer, even if you do not have any previous experience. You will be able to find out more about the Healthcare Support Worker (Band 2) positions we have available and have an opportunity to speak with a variety of people who work here, from a variety of job roles and responsibilities. They will happily provide you with information and answer any questions you may have. If you like what you hear and decide you would like to join our team, you will be placed with one of our nursing recruitment team members, who are here to support and help you complete an application.

Our friendly and approachable team will guide you through the whole process. We even have a passionate healthcare support worker ambassador with us on the day who would be happy to speak with you.

Once you have completed a short test, it is on to the interview stage. That’s right - application to interview all on the same day! You will have the potential to walk out with a job offer, all within a couple of hours.

At Royal Papworth, we value compassion, excellence and collaboration. You can be sure that you will have the support you need, the ability to work for a CQC rated ‘outstanding’ hospital and will be given the tools needed to develop and grow your career.
