Healthcare Support Worker

But what about if you are looking for a career change but do want to avoid going through the retraining process? Joining us as a Healthcare Support Worker is the thing for you. As an HSW, you'll help support our adult services across the Trust, whether helping a service user understand their condition and care plans or simply making their day a little brighter.

What's most important are your attitude, willingness to learn, and passion for helping others.

Even if you do not want to work in the clinical side of Sussex Partnership, you can still make a difference. Our range of support services helps keep everything running in the background so that we can deliver quality care. This can be from giving users a warm welcome when they first step into our sites to recruiting the best medical staff to bring new care methods and ideas to the Trust. In all aspects of the services we provide, you will find our support services working in the background to ensure the smooth running of the department.

If you join Sussex Partnership, you will become a part of an NHS trust that values your contribution and helps you grow professionally. Our fantastic team members are the ones who make our organization thrive, and this translates into better care and support for the people who use our services.
