In my previous job I worked 9 to 5 and I was on the road all the time. On top of that I was on call every weekend and my time was not my own or my family’s. The job as a Health Care Assistant (HCA) at HMP Hewell had a shift pattern of three long days a week, and those days change according to the rota. I worked one weekend in three, leaving me four days during the school week to be at home when my children came home. It was ideal in the holidays.Healthcare Assistant -Day Surgery UnitAll LocationsPractice Plus Group Hospital Plymouth All Locations is a required fieldPositionHCAsAdvertising Salary£12,557.48 per yearVacancy TypePermanentSchedule TypePart TimeSave JobShareOther jobs like thisSimilarAll LocationsPractice Plus Group Hospital Plymouth All Locations is a required fieldPositionHCAsAdvertising Salary£12,557.48 per yearVacancy TypePermanentSchedule TypePart TimeLatestAll LocationsPractice Plus Group Hospital Plymouth All Locations is a required fieldPositionFacilities and HospitalityAdvertising Salary£24,784.50Vacancy TypePermanentSchedule TypeFull TimeLatestAll LocationsPractice Plus Group Hospital Emersons Green, Practice Plus Group Surgical Centre Devizes
