We’re offering an exciting full-time opportunity for a passionate Health Care Assistant (HCA) to become a valued member of our dynamic and supportive WeCare CHC team. No prior experience is necessary — full training will be provided for the right candidate.

About the role

Our Health Care Assistants play a valued and integral role within our clinical support staff and the wider WeCare team. Operating as a seamless extension of our clinical, customer care and administrative teams, you’ll take on a diverse range of responsibilities. Your daily tasks will range from supporting our clinicians — completing blood tests, ECGs and observations — through to some healthcare administration, reception cover, processing and sterilising instruments, stock ordering and management, daily clinic set-up, weekly clinic and equipment checks, and maintaining a pristine clinic environment. It’s an exciting, diverse and fast-paced role.

You’ll form part of our collaborative care team, made up of Health Care Assistants, Medical Associates, Receptionists, Administrators and dedicated clinicians including Registered and Enrolled Nurses, Nurse Prescribers, Nurse Practitioners, General Practitioners, Physician Associates and Pharmacists. At WeCare, our culture is high-performance teamwork — we seek people who are diligent, committed and ready to collaborate seamlessly with their colleagues to deliver superior access for patients.

• Collaborative — You combine your strengths with your colleagues, share knowledge, give and receive honest feedback, and treat everyone with respect while working toward our common goal: superior access for patients.
• Growth-minded — You want to grow and improve yourself, you welcome feedback and training as opportunities, and you push the people around you to grow and develop too.

You’ll be set up for success if you:

• Are motivated and driven — you want to succeed as part of our WeCare team
• Have a genuine passion for helping people
