An opportunity has arisen for a Clinical Support Worker to join the team on Ward 6 at Furness General Hospital. We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated individual, ideally with previous care experience and flexibility to work shifts.
The ward is 34 bedded which specialises in stroke and frail elderly care. A new 4 bedded Acute Stroke Unit has recently opened which specialises in acute monitoring following thrombolysis.
Main duties of the job include supporting the patient with personal care, nutrition and fluid intake. Clinical support workers are expected to report to and support the registered nurses. Ensure the environment is kept clean and tidy. Follow the Infection Prevention guidance.
We operate from three main hospitals - Furness General Hospital (FGH) in Barrow, the Royal Lancaster Infirmary (RLI), and Westmorland General Hospital (WGH) in Kendal, as well as a number of community health care premises including Millom Hospital and GP Practice, Queen Victoria Hospital in Morecambe, and Ulverston Community Health Centre.
FGH and the RLI have a range of General Hospital services, with full Emergency Departments, Critical/Coronary Care units and various Consultant-led services.
WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
