Due to current operational pressures and increased pressure in the Emergency Departments (ED), HCA shifts have been added to the allocate on arrive NHSP ward rosters. Staff who pick up these shifts will work in the Emergency Department and support the team with ambulance handovers.

This is fantastic opportunity to develop skills in a new area as well as:

  • Building confidence in dealing with complex patient care
  • Gain experience in a different clinical setting and knowledge of a specialist service
  • Gain a clear understanding of the patient pathway
  • Add valuable experience to your CV when applying for other roles, promotion or courses.

These shifts are paid at top point of a Band 3 and staff who pick up these shifts, will also receive the £50 per shift allocate on arrival incentive. The hours can also count towards the £250 NHSP incentive where applicable.

Staff will be paid weekly at Band 2 for the shifts worked, the difference in pay between Band 2 and Band 3 and the £50 shift incentive will be paid on the dates outlined below.
