Job overview

Healthcare Assistant - A3 Ward

Band 3 - ( subject to presentation of full care certificate ) Full-time 37.5 hours per week

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic and caring Healthcare Assistant, with a passion for working on a surgical ward, to join our supportive and friendly team.

Epsom & St. Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust is rated as Good by the CQC and we’d welcome applications from individuals committed to being part of the team to maintain and build on this.

Working under the direct supervision and direction of a Registered Nurse, Ward Manager who delegates tasks to the post holder, the Healthcare Assistant (HCA) will deliver high quality nursing care to patients, as part of a team.


If you are someone who cares about getting things right, takes pride in making a difference, and wants to be part of a forward-thinking team, we’d love to hear from you.

Ready to make a difference? APPLY NOW!


Main duties of the job

Previous experience in this role is preferred but you will be provided with clinical training to learn the role and will have daily supervision by trained staff to perform safely, confidently and competently the clinical skills required.

Applicants must be able to demonstrate:

  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Genuine desire to become a part of our amazing team and provide outstanding care for our patients
  • Ability to work well within a team as well as individually
  • Be hardworking, compassionate and have a passion to care to this client group.

The Trust will always provide opportunities and support for your future career pathway and development.

Whilst the registered nurse retains accountability for the care delivered by the HCA, the post holder is responsible for their own practice, working within the defined limits of competence and within the scope of the role.

Working for our organisation

St George’s, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George’s Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).
After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
