Healthcare Support Workers work in a range of healthcare settings, for example in a hospital, general practice, as part of a community team and in an individual’s home where their wider team may include workers from both health and social care.
They can also be found in social care settings where the scope of the role they carry out requires them to be responsible for a range of clinical tasks.
These roles are becoming more common as health and social care services in some areas become integrated or where residential and nursing homes are caring for residents who have health and care needs, are unwell or reaching the end of their life but have not been transferred to a hospital or primary care setting.
