A Nursing Assistant under Japan’s Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) program provides essential care and support to patients in healthcare facilities, such as hospitals, nursing homes, or clinics. This role involves assisting with daily living activities, ensuring patient comfort, and supporting medical staff to deliver high-quality care. Candidates must be over 18, in good health, and possess the necessary occupational skills and Japanese language proficiency (typically JLPT N4 or higher) to work immediately without extensive training. The role excludes visiting care services and focuses on facility-based care, emphasizing compassion, teamwork, and cultural sensitivity in Japan’s healthcare system.
The Nursing Assistant is responsible for assisting patients with daily activities such as bathing, feeding, dressing, and toileting, tailored to their physical and mental conditions, while helping those with mobility issues to move around the ward, get out of bed, or participate in rehabilitation exercises. The role includes checking and documenting vital signs like blood pressure and pulse, reporting significant changes to nurses or doctors for further diagnosis, and providing compassionate emotional support to address patients’ stress, anxiety, or loneliness. Nursing Assistants support nurses and doctors by preparing patients for examinations, dressing wounds, or setting up medical equipment under supervision, and they assist in recreational activities and functional training to enhance patient well-being and recovery. Additionally, they clean and prepare medical equipment, follow operational guidelines, coordinate with technicians for repairs, and record patient progress and care details to ensure accurate communication with the healthcare team. The role involves performing light housekeeping tasks, such as changing bed linens and cleaning patient areas to maintain hygiene, and delivering care that respects diverse cultural backgrounds while adhering to Japan’s healthcare norms, emphasizing teamwork and hierarchy.
