Description

As a Health and Nursing Assistant at Morton, you ensure that sick and needy people feel well taken care of both medically and personally - during a hospital stay, in a nursing home, or at home.

You assist patients with tasks such as personal hygiene, serving meals, and regularly changing their position to prevent bedsores.

Additionally, you observe and monitor their health status, administer medication according to doctor's orders, and provide first aid in case of emergencies.

You take cleanliness and hygiene very seriously. You make sure that beds are freshly made, tables are clean, and patient rooms are tidy.

You are also a point of contact and help your patients navigate the ward or nursing home, or provide information to their family members.


Health and Nursing Assistants are the "good soul" for the sick, elderly, and disabled - as well as the nursing team.

You typically assist doctors and nursing professionals, but otherwise work independently and take responsibility for your own tasks.


Whether it's helping with washing, dressing, or eating and drinking, your main role is to support your patients with basic care.

On doctor's orders, you also provide medical care to acute and chronically ill patients by measuring blood pressure and sugar levels, administering injections, or assisting with bandage changes.

You document all of this in daily care reports so that everyone on the nursing team is informed.

It is also important for successful care that you are empathetic towards your patients, recognize their wishes and needs, and fulfill them individually.
