An Exciting Opportunity to Join Our Stroke Rehabilitation Team
Ward 7 at Queen Margaret Hospital is a specialist stroke rehabilitation unit providing person-centred care to patients recovering from stroke and other neurological conditions. We are seeking motivated and compassionate Healthcare Support Workers to join our multidisciplinary team and help support patients on their rehabilitation journey.

As a Healthcare Support Worker, you will play a key role in delivering high-quality care and rehabilitation support within a busy ward environment. Working alongside Registered Nurses, Allied Health Professionals, and the wider multidisciplinary team, you will assist patients to maximise their independence and achieve their rehabilitation goals.

We are looking for individuals who:

• Are caring, compassionate and committed to delivering high standards of person-centred care.
• Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Enjoy working as part of a multidisciplinary team.
• Are able to support patients with activities of daily living, mobility, personal care, nutrition and hydration.
• Demonstrate empathy, dignity and respect in all aspects of care delivery.
• Are reliable, flexible and able to work effectively within a fast-paced clinical environment.

Previous healthcare experience is desirable but not essential as full training and support will be provided.

For informal enquiries please contact Senior Charge Nurse Fiona Reid on 01383 627007 or e-mail Fiona.reid6@nhs.scot.

AI tools like ChatGPT or Copilot can be great for planning and preparing your application, but your answers must be your own. Show us the real you: Your application should reflect your skills, experience, and motivations authentically. Use AI wisely: It's fine to use AI for ideas or to check spelling and grammar, but don't let it write your answers. Why this matters: Applications that rely on AI-generated content may be withdrawn. By applying, you confirm your responses are based on your own knowledge and achievements. Tip: Think of AI as a helper, not a substitute. We want to understand you, not an AI tool.
