Are you looking to join Team Countess as a Healthcare Support Worker?
We are pleased to offer a training pathway for individuals wishing to develop their career as a Healthcare Support Worker. Following a recent change to the role, an NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care or equivalent experience is now required to work substantively at Band 3. This training role has been introduced to support individuals who do not yet meet these requirements.

Throughout this period, you will be expected to:
- Complete and be signed off on the required clinical skills.

Once all elements of the training programme have been successfully completed and signed off, your pay will progress to Agenda for Change Band 3.
In addition, the Trust will support you to complete the NVQ Level 3 in Health and Social Care in partnership with Cheshire College. This is a 21‑month programme delivered on site, and you will be enrolled at the earliest available opportunity.
