What is a unit helper?

Unit Helpers are support staff in healthcare facilities who assist nurses and other medical personnel with non-clinical tasks. Their duties typically include transporting patients, delivering supplies, stocking equipment, and maintaining cleanliness in patient care areas. While they do not provide direct medical care, Unit Helpers play a vital role in ensuring the smooth operation of hospital units. Their support allows clinical staff to focus on patient care and improves the overall efficiency of healthcare services.
