The Health Care Assistant supports nurses and the wider cardiology team in delivering safe, compassionate care to patients. Typical duties include assisting with washing, dressing, mobility, nutrition and toileting; recording observations; preparing patients for investigations; maintaining a clean and safe clinical environment; and communicating changes in patients’ conditions. Candidates should demonstrate kindness, reliability, good communication skills and respect for privacy and dignity. Previous experience in a healthcare setting is helpful, although relevant training may be provided. Applicants must work well under pressure, follow infection-control and safeguarding procedures, maintain accurate records and be willing to work shifts, including weekends and nights. A commitment to NHS values and patient-centred care is essential.
