Im currently looking into this as a career change, after 24 years military service, currently im also a clinical volunteer with my local trust, hold functional skills level 1 and 2 in maths, english and science as well as well as clinical experience prior to enlistment. These videos are invaluble to potential candidates wanting to step into healthcare sector.

Nurses standing chatting, but health care assistant working hard!

I don't know one long term HCA that seems happy with the job . Been on the bank as HCA for 6yrs worked in every type of ward and I'm also a student nurse now . No offence to any HCA I'm one myself and I know everyone needs to earn money to feed Thier family, however I don't advice anyone to get into it long term . Being a HCA id a hard thankless job and u will be worked into the ground, I'm glad I done it as I gained lots of life experience and it made me a better person , however I only wish I moved on sooner.

This video shows the HCA working in a GP surgery (health centre ), doing OBS and taking bloods etc, jobs like that are hard to come by and u will most likely be in a understaffed care of elderly ward up to Ur knees in piss and shit, whilst trying to stop about 6patients from climbing out of bed at same time .trust me I know healthcare

Hi there are you recurring now or any time soon

[lovedeepkaur]

I am doing A levels at the moment, and i want to go in a gap year after year 13 and i was thinking to apply for health care assistant in that time to get some experience before applying for nursing degree apprenticeship. Is that possible to get temporary job for 1 year? and I want to start volunteering in half term holidays too, will they be able to accept me if i just had volunteer experience? (Just in case i will do a course in phlebotomy too after a level)
