Resource Library: Health Care Support Workers

The Healthcare Support Worker (HCSW) handbook is an online, easy to use, interactive handbook that includes a range of content and resources relevant to anyone in or interested in a HCSW role. It captures many areas of the HCSW’s journey including themes such as applying for a HCSW role, Care Certificate, career development, skills and “day in the life of” videos to showcase all the opportunities a HCSW can work in. The handbook is designed for the HCSW to access any of the themes that are relevant to them, whether this is at the start of their journey in the role and wondering how they can apply or developing their career or skills as a current HCSW. There is also a section on support to help direct the HCSW to further information on things such as raising concerns, health and wellbeing and buddying.
