healthcare assistant / clinical support staff
You could also write: auxiliary nurse or nursing auxiliary. Frankly, I think it they are all more or less synonymous.
Example sentence:
"Healthcare assistants can work within hospital or community settings under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional.

Lirka
: i would be careful with this one, as physician assistants, for instance, also count as healthcare assistants, but have a must higher rank than Pflegehelfer. They're allowed to practice medicine under MD's supervision

Reference:
healthcare assistant, nursing auxiliary, auxiliary nurse
Healthcare assistants can work within hospital or community settings under the guidance of a qualified healthcare professional. The role can be very varied depending upon the area in which the person is employed.
Working alongside nurses, for example, they may sometimes be known as nursing auxiliaries or auxiliary nurses. Healthcare assistants also work along side qualified midwives in maternity services.
