We have an exciting opportunity within our friendly GP training practice for a Healthcare Assistant. We are ideally looking for an experienced HCA, but would consider full training and support for someone new to the role for the right candidate.

In this varied role you will become an integral part of the team, running your own clinics as well as supporting other clinicians and the surgery as a whole.

Outside of clinics you will:

  • Support the team and surgery with room stocking and stock rotation
  • Manage tasks and queries within the organisation and from others
  • Support the Infection, Prevention and Control lead
  • Maintain good health and safety procedures
  • Although an experienced candidate would be ideal, training can be given for the right applicant.
