Renal Care Assistant

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 3 to work within the 2 haemodialysis units in Peterborough, caring for 156 patients across the 2 units. Both units are open from 07:00 -23.00 Monday to Saturday. Our shift patterns are early 7 -6pm and late 12-11pm with one 7-3pm, 11-7pm or 3-11pm per week (Full time/ Part time)

Previous experience in renal/ haemodialysis is desirable but not essential, as full in-house training and support will be given. Ideally you will be qualified to NVQ level 3 or equivalent and have at least 18 months experience in a care setting. The team you will be joining is dedicated to training of both staff and patients. The management team is highly visible across both units.

You Also Need To Be

• Excellent communication skills
• Ability to work as part of a team or independently.
• A positive and proactive attitude.
• A desire to deliver a high standard of care to chronically ill patients

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

• high-quality care for all,
• being a great place to work,
• partnerships for impact, and
• research and education excellence
  
  

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
• we are one team
  
  

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
