Summary
The Clinical Support Worker plays a key role in delivering high-quality, compassionate care to patients within the Trauma and Orthopaedics Department at King’s Mill Hospital. Working under the supervision of Registered Nurses, the post holder supports the day-to-day care and wellbeing of patients by assisting with personal care, monitoring observations, maintaining a safe and organised ward environment, and supporting clinical and administrative tasks.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
