“The post of Healthcare assistant will give the successful candidate an overview of the basic skills required to start a nursing/midwifery career.  The post holder could go on to gain further Healthcare assistant roles as well as completing NVQ level 2 & 3 and other relevant qualifications.  The post will give the candidate experience of working within a large NHS organisation and working within a multi-disciplinary team.  This post will hopefully give somebody an insight into the healthcare system which could lead to number of positions within and outside of the Trust.”
