Healthcare Assistant

Healthcare Assistant

Reference: HW-2001

Actual working hours will be subject to discussion with the successful candidate. Rate of pay is dependent upon experience. The role will normally be based in the BHI Building in Bromsgrove, but may also involve travel to the branch surgery in Wychbold. A driving licence and access to a vehicle is therefore essential.

We are committed to a patient-centred approach and offer a full range of primary care and enhanced services to patients in friendly, modern and comfortable surroundings. The healthcare assistant will deliver and assist clinical staff in the provision of treatment, preventative care, health promotion and patient education.

The successful candidate must be able to perform ECGs, phlebotomy and blood pressure monitoring. Ideally, he/she will also be able to offer the following skills: dressings management, removal of sutures, administration of influenza and B12 vaccines, diabetic foot assessment and assistance of minor operations. Additional on-the-job training will be available where required.

St Johns Surgery is a well-established Practice in Bromsgrove with a list size of over 15,500 patients. We moved to our present location in the Bromsgrove Healthcare Innovations (BHI) purpose built complex just over 10 years ago and we also have a branch dispensing surgery in nearby Wychbold village. Our last CQC rating in December 2018 was Good in all areas. We are a training practice, with registrars and medical students from the University of Birmingham.

There is a strong team ethos across the whole practice. We are therefore looking for the right person to join us and invite interested candidates to get in touch to find out more about the role and the practice as a whole. Visits to the surgery are also welcome.
