Clinical Support Worker – Community Nursing

Job Description

Join Our Team as a Clinical Support Worker in District Nursing

We are thrilled to offer a fantastic role for a dedicated and energetic Clinical Support Worker to become part of our vibrant District Nursing teams. In this position, you’ll collaborate closely with a diverse group of healthcare professionals, delivering everyday care to patients while being guided and overseen by experienced District Nurses or Registered Nurses. We’re looking for someone with strong interpersonal skills, solid writing abilities, and familiarity with basic computer systems to help keep everything running smoothly.

What You will Be Doing

Your day-to-day will focus on offering hands-on personal care to individuals receiving palliative or end-of-life support right in the comfort of their homes. Once you’ve completed the necessary training, you’ll handle a range of clinical tasks independently, including blood draws, giving medications, managing catheters, and performing other suitable health checks.

You will also lend a hand to your colleagues, such as staff nurses and those in training, fostering a supportive team environment. Your efforts will center on fulfilling patients’ unique needs to ensure they receive thoughtful and effective care.

We value independence in this role—you’ll often make decisions on your own and know when to loop in a registered expert for advice. Expect some solo shifts, and since you’ll be visiting patients across our service area, having the drive and means to travel is a must.

Essential Qualifications and Checks

The person we hire will need to join the Protecting Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme. For details, check out www.disclosurescotland.co.uk.

Sponsorship for International Applicants

If you are seeking UK work sponsorship, take a close look at the rules for Skilled Worker or Health and Care Worker visas. NHS Forth Valley could potentially sponsor eligible candidates if the job hits the required salary level and other standards. If you’re already in the UK on a Skilled Worker visa, there might be some transitional options. Keep in mind, sponsorship isn’t automatic it’s reviewed individually after interviews and during background checks. Head to the UK Government’s site for the full scoop on visas and eligibility.

We also suggest that anyone applying from outside the UK for health and social care positions review this helpful guide: Applying for health and social care jobs in the UK from abroad – GOV.UK (www.gov.uk).
