An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 3 Clinical Support Worker post within the Children’s Complex Care Team.
The post will encompass a variety of shift patterns within a team comprising of Clinical Support Workers and Registered Nurses. The post entails providing care for highly dependent children in their own homes.
The successful candidate must have a caring disposition and demonstrate good communication and interpersonal skills, patience, flexibility and reliability. An ability to respect client confidentiality is coupled with the ability to work as an integrated team member.
