Are you passionate about helping others? Do you want a rewarding role where the care, dignity and wellbeing of patients are at the heart of everything you do?

We want YOU to join our NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde Staff Bank as a Band 3 Healthcare Support Worker, supporting our Mental Health inpatient wards across Inverclyde.

This is an opportunity to become part of a dedicated team, working alongside registered nurses and the wider multidisciplinary team to provide compassionate, high-quality, person-centred care to people experiencing mental health difficulties.

This role does not meet the eligibility criteria for a Skilled Worker visa or a Health and Care Worker visa. NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is unable to provide candidates or employees with a Certificate of Sponsorship (COS).

WHY JOIN OUR STAFF BANK?
We understand that flexibility matters. Working with the Staff Bank gives you the opportunity to choose and book available shifts around your own commitments, helping you achieve a better work-life balance while doing work that genuinely matters.
As a member of our Staff Bank, you can benefit from:

• Weekly pay
• Flexible working hours – choose from available shifts to suit your availability.
• A rewarding career – make a real difference to patients, their recovery and wellbeing.
• Uniform provided – feel part of our team from day one.
• Annual leave accrual – build annual leave entitlement as you work.
• NHS Pension Scheme – opportunity to join the NHS Pension.
• Learning and development – receive support with your induction and mandatory learning to help prepare you for the role.

Please note that bank shifts are offered on an as-and-when-required basis and are not guaranteed.

WHAT WILL YOU BE DOING?
As a Healthcare Support Worker, you will play an important role in supporting patients throughout their care and recovery.
Your role will include:

• Delivering compassionate, person-centred care.
• Supporting patients with personal care and everyday living activities.
• Promoting independence, recovery and emotional wellbeing.
• Helping to maintain a safe and supportive ward environment.
• Recognising and reporting changes in patients' physical or mental health.
• Working collaboratively with nursing colleagues and the wider multidisciplinary team.

We are looking for people who are caring, reliable, compassionate and committed to delivering safe, high-quality care. Previous experience in health, social care or mental health services would be beneficial, but a willingness to learn and the right approach to patient care are essential.

We recognise that starting a new role can feel daunting. That's why we will support successful applicants through their induction and mandatory learning, helping you develop the knowledge and confidence needed to become work-ready for the opportunities available across our Inverclyde mental health wards.
