You can apply online through Indeed by searching for a ‘Trainee Healthcare Support Worker' role. Our positions show as being from NHS Professionals instead of your local Partner Trust or Client but you can filter them by location on the job sites.
If you cannot see a role advertised, set up a job alert and you will be told when we are recruiting. How to set up a job alert differs on each site so please check their FAQs for details.
Depending on the needs of the Trust or Client, we have 2 routes into the HCSWD programme:
- For a 3-month placement, you will need 3 months of paid experience in a care-based setting within the last 2 years.
- For a 6 month placement, you don’t need to have any experience but will need to prove you have a passion for healthcare.
The job posting will also provide dates for an assessment day, classroom training, and induction week. Please ensure you can attend all of these as we will not be able to reschedule.
To apply, please click on the ‘Apply for this job' button and complete the application.
You’ll receive emails throughout the recruitment process so please check your emails regularly – including your junk and spam inboxes. If you haven’t heard from us within 3 weeks of applying, unfortunately, you have not been successful this time.
You can also contact the HCSWD team by using the 'Need More Help?' Contact Form below using the category 'Joining NHSP'.
