Will AI replace Nursing auxiliaries and assistants?

Not as a job, but it is already doing parts of the work. Across the 252 official task statements scored for Nursing auxiliaries and assistants (United Kingdom, SOC 6131), 15% of the importance-weighted core work is made of tasks today's AI could already do most of. The overall exposure score is 24 out of 100 (range 20–29, band: low). That is a statement about tasks, not about headcount: this measures what AI could do, not whether any employer adopts it, whether the law allows it, or whether doing the routine parts faster creates more demand for the human parts. Figures are from release 2026-q4.1.

Which tasks in “Nursing auxiliaries and assistants” can AI already do?

The highest-scoring tasks in release 2026-q4.1 are: “Collect and update maternity care statistics for health records” (93/100, very high); “Compile statistics on clinical practices to support maternity care services” (93/100, very high); “Log parts utilised in physiotherapy treatments” (93/100, very high). Each score comes from five published 0–4 ratings turned into a number by a published formula, and each carries the model's one-sentence reason on the page.

Which tasks in “Nursing auxiliaries and assistants” stay human?

About 77% of this job's task weight sits in work that scores low for AI exposure. The lowest-scoring tasks in release 2026-q4.1 are: “Position closed-wound drainage systems” (0/100, minimal); “Remove patient hair to prepare patient for surgery” (0/100, minimal); “Participate in positioning patients with protective padding to prevent nerve damage or circulation impairment” (0/100, minimal). Low scores usually mean the task needs a body in a room, a legally accountable human, or trust built in real time. Those are the three things the scoring rubric treats as gates rather than obstacles.

What should someone working in “Nursing auxiliaries and assistants” do about AI?

Start from the ledger rather than the headline: 15% of this job's weighted core work is exposed, and roughly 77% is not. The practical move is to spend more of your week on the tasks that score low, the ones above, and to get fluent at directing AI through the tasks that score high, because those are the parts that change whether or not you are ready for them. This page does not predict your job, and nothing here is career advice tailored to you: the score describes the occupation, not the person.

How is the AI exposure score for Nursing auxiliaries and assistants calculated?

Each official task statement for the occupation is rated on five published 0–4 dimensions (output replicability, physical embodiment, licensed accountability, real-time human trust, and data availability) by claude-opus-5 using scoring prompt task_scoring_v1.0. The model never writes the score; a published formula turns the five ratings into a 0–100 number, so every score can be recomputed by hand. The occupation figure is the importance-weighted mean across 252 scored tasks. The prompt, the rubric, the formula and the full dataset are published at https://futureproof.collab365.com/method and https://futureproof.collab365.com/data/2026-q4.1 under CC BY 4.0.

Nursing auxiliaries and assistants

instructing and motivating patients to practise exercises, coordinating the positioning of patients using body stabilising equipment and inputting data into computer systems for record-keeping. If that's your week, this page is about your job.

The honest answer

AI is already taking a real slice of the routine work here: recording and maintaining patient data or treatment records. That is a slice of tasks, not of you.

changing shape: 8%
staying human: 77%

These bars are tasks changing hands, not people being counted out. The ledger below shows which.

Whole-job exposure score 24 out of 100 (20–29 allowing for uncertainty): low exposure, across 252 scored tasks. The number is the support for the sentence above it, not a headline about anyone’s future.

How we know this

What is measured: Every published task statement for nursing auxiliaries and assistants is rated on five dimensions: can a model produce the output, does the work need a body in a room, does it need a legally accountable person, does it depend on a person being trusted in the moment, and how much data exists. A published formula turns those five ratings into the score; the model never writes the number.

How the bar is built: Each task’s share of the bar is its published importance weight, so a task you do all day counts for more than one you do twice a year.

Release: 2026-q4.1, scores computed 2026-08-04. Read the full method.

That slice is not coming back; the core of the job, monitoring the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals in care, stays yours. The tools change hands, the accountability doesn't.

Your week, as this page understands it

Nursing auxiliaries and assistants assist doctors, nurses and other health professionals in caring for the sick and injured within hospitals, homes, clinics and the wider community. The job title says “nursing auxiliaries” or “assistants”: officially one job, two names. The real job is the part underneath: monitoring the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals in care. That is the thing someone has to be right about.

The exposed part of this job is specific, and we won’t pretend it is coming back. But nursing auxiliaries and assistants is not one task. It is 252 scored ones, and they are nowhere near equally exposed. The most durable of them, on this evidence, is monitoring the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals in care, and the ledger below shows exactly why.

What this job pays, and how many people do it

How we know this
Source: ashe-t14
Reference period: ASHE 2025 provisional (reference April 2025)
Rounding: Shown to the nearest £100. The exact published figure is in the downloadable dataset. We do not render pounds the survey cannot support.
People doing this job: 337,700in the UK, 2026.nomis-aps · Apr 2025-Mar 2026 (latest APS 12-month period)This headcount comes from a survey, not a census, so treat it as a good estimate rather than an exact count.

What is deliberately not here: a forecast of how many of these jobs exist in ten years. Where an official projection exists for a market we publish it with its vintage; where it does not, we leave the space empty rather than borrow the other country’s number.

Why this is shifting

The reason is boringly specific. Most of what is shifting here is reading one thing and writing another: patient data in, a record out. The rows above are exactly that shape: recording and maintaining patient data or treatment records and maintaining and developing knowledge and skills. What it cannot do is be there in the room, and that is still where the physical gets done. Which is why this page talks about your tasks changing, not your job ending.

Your move

Over a pint: what I’d tell you if you were my friend

Start with what does not change: monitoring the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals in care is the middle of this job, and the evidence on this page says it stays with a person.

So, given all that: 15% of this job's task weight sits in rows the software is already learning, 8% in rows that change shape rather than disappear, and 77% in rows it is nowhere near. That is the position, measured across 252 scored tasks. It is not a forecast about you.

So the thing worth your attention is not the job going away. It is the layer around it. Recording and maintaining patient data or treatment records is the part turning into software, and being the person who understands that layer is worth money.

This week: one thing

Ask the one question. Find whoever is bringing new software into your workplace (the manager, the office, whoever runs the system) and ask them what it is meant to do to patient data, and what it is not meant to touch. Ten minutes, this week, before anyone decides it for you.

What you end up holding: a straight answer about what is actually being rolled out, and when
How long it takes: ten minutes

If there’s nobody obvious to ask, or you’d rather not ask your manager: Put the same question to your union rep, your shift lead or the person who has been there longest, in person, over a break. Same ten minutes, same answer, and you will usually get a straighter one. Write down what they say. The note is the artifact, and it tells you whether the physical is in scope or not. Nothing to log into, no licence needed.

Over the next 90 days

Get inside the tool rollout rather than waiting for it. Over the next ninety days, ask to be in the group that tests, checks or signs off whatever new system arrives near coordinating treatment plans with physiotherapists and surgeons for patient care. It is usually an unglamorous seat that nobody fights for, and it is the one that decides how the software is used on your job rather than to it.

Over the next 12 months

On this evidence I would not retrain out of this job, and I will say that plainly rather than hedge it. The task list here is dominated by work that stays with a person. What I would do with a year is get formally recognised for the layer around it (the systems, the compliance, the planning), so you are the one who understands the software instead of the one it is done to. Before you pay for anything, spend an hour with National Careers Service. It is free and government-funded, and it is listed below with the rest of the free routes.

The roads out of here, and why I am not sending you down them

I looked at the obvious moves out of this job, and here is what I found.

I checked the 12 nearest UK occupations to nursing auxiliaries and assistants (nearest by the work that AI is not taking, not by job title), and none of them survived. The closest was registered children's nurses: only about 3% of its durable work is work you already do and there are far fewer of those jobs than of yours. And on the numbers you do not need one. This job scores 24/100 here, with only 15% of the task list in the top band, and “perform venipuncture to collect blood samples” is not work that hands over cleanly. None of them beats deepening what you already have.

How that was checked: this job was compared against all 412 UK occupations in this release on their official task statements, and the 12 nearest were examined one by one. A move that turns on an industry, an employer or a qualification rather than on the work itself will not show up in a check like that. And this release carries no licence register, so anything you are weighing needs that looked up separately.

3 moves I checked and rejected

These are the obvious-looking jumps. They are here with their reasons rather than quietly dropped, because the ones that fail are worth knowing about. It is one less thing to turn over at night.

Registered children's nurses
Why it looked obvious: It came up as a near neighbour on the work AI is not taking: you already transport patients to the hospital or within the hospital, and their equivalent is to support a parent during their hospital stay. Across both published task lists that is about 2% of the durable work in that job.
Why I am not recommending it: Almost none of it is work you already do: about 2% of the durable side of that job. That is a different job, not a next step. And it is a narrow door: about 42,200 of those jobs against 337,700 of yours (ONS via Nomis), 12% as many seats.
Look at that job’s page anyway →
Physiotherapists
Why it looked obvious: It came up as a near neighbour because one of your tasks is on their list in the same words: “administer active or passive manual therapeutic exercises”. Across the whole of both lists that adds up to about 3% of the work in that job the software is not taking.
Why I am not recommending it: Almost none of it is work you already do: about 3% of the durable side of that job. That is a different job, not a next step. And it is a narrow door: about 73,700 of those jobs against 337,700 of yours (ONS via Nomis), 22% as many seats.
Look at that job’s page anyway →
Registered community nurses
Why it looked obvious: It came up as a near neighbour because one of your tasks is on their list in the same words: “collect samples, such as blood, urine, or sputum from patients”. Across the whole of both lists that adds up to about 2% of the work in that job the software is not taking.
Why I am not recommending it: Almost none of it is work you already do: about 2% of the durable side of that job. That is a different job, not a next step. And it is a narrow door: about 70,400 of those jobs against 337,700 of yours (ONS via Nomis), 21% as many seats.

What I’d stop worrying about

A friend tells you what not to spend fear on. This is that list.

The headline number you read somewhere
The big “X% of jobs” figures are about the whole economy, not about you. The number that describes your job is on this page: 15% of its task weight, across 252 scored tasks. Every row behind it is printed above with the source. Check ours; ignore theirs.
The headlines about your trade disappearing
They are usually about the technology, not the timetable. Changes to work like monitoring the physical and mental health and well-being of individuals in care arrive through rules, insurance and money, slowly and visibly. This page tracks the task evidence and will move when it moves.
Retraining out of a job that is holding up
On this evidence I would not spend money leaving. Spend it on the layer around the job instead: the tools, the paperwork, the planning. That is where the change actually is.
The “obvious” next job everyone suggests
I checked the obvious moves and most of them did not survive. The reasons are printed with the routes above, including the pay and the gate. A move that fails on the numbers is worth knowing about so you can stop turning it over at night.

You are reading the United Kingdom figures

The United States splits this work across more than one official group, of which Nursing Assistants is the closest. The pay and employment figures are not directly comparable, and we do not average them together.

The other groups this work is counted across:

In US official statistics this job is counted as Nursing Assistants, Orderlies, Psychiatric Aides, Occupational Therapy Aides, Physical Therapist Aides, Dental Assistants, Medical Equipment Preparers, Pharmacy Aides, Phlebotomists and Healthcare Support Workers, All Other. Pay is shown separately for each of those groups (medians cannot be averaged together), while the task list and the scores on this page are for this group only.

Questions people ask about this job

Will AI replace Nursing auxiliaries and assistants?: Not as a job, but it is already doing parts of the work. Across the 252 official task statements scored for Nursing auxiliaries and assistants (United Kingdom, SOC 6131), 15% of the importance-weighted core work is made of tasks today's AI could already do most of. The overall exposure score is 24 out of 100 (range 20–29, band: low). That is a statement about tasks, not about headcount: this measures what AI could do, not whether any employer adopts it, whether the law allows it, or whether doing the routine parts faster creates more demand for the human parts. Figures are from release 2026-q4.1.
Which tasks in “Nursing auxiliaries and assistants” can AI already do?: The highest-scoring tasks in release 2026-q4.1 are: “Collect and update maternity care statistics for health records” (93/100, very high); “Compile statistics on clinical practices to support maternity care services” (93/100, very high); “Log parts utilised in physiotherapy treatments” (93/100, very high). Each score comes from five published 0–4 ratings turned into a number by a published formula, and each carries the model's one-sentence reason on the page.
Which tasks in “Nursing auxiliaries and assistants” stay human?: About 77% of this job's task weight sits in work that scores low for AI exposure. The lowest-scoring tasks in release 2026-q4.1 are: “Position closed-wound drainage systems” (0/100, minimal); “Remove patient hair to prepare patient for surgery” (0/100, minimal); “Participate in positioning patients with protective padding to prevent nerve damage or circulation impairment” (0/100, minimal). Low scores usually mean the task needs a body in a room, a legally accountable human, or trust built in real time. Those are the three things the scoring rubric treats as gates rather than obstacles.
What should someone working in “Nursing auxiliaries and assistants” do about AI?: Start from the ledger rather than the headline: 15% of this job's weighted core work is exposed, and roughly 77% is not. The practical move is to spend more of your week on the tasks that score low, the ones above, and to get fluent at directing AI through the tasks that score high, because those are the parts that change whether or not you are ready for them. This page does not predict your job, and nothing here is career advice tailored to you: the score describes the occupation, not the person.
How is the AI exposure score for Nursing auxiliaries and assistants calculated?: Each official task statement for the occupation is rated on five published 0–4 dimensions (output replicability, physical embodiment, licensed accountability, real-time human trust, and data availability) by claude-opus-5 using scoring prompt task_scoring_v1.0. The model never writes the score; a published formula turns the five ratings into a 0–100 number, so every score can be recomputed by hand. The occupation figure is the importance-weighted mean across 252 scored tasks. The prompt, the rubric, the formula and the full dataset are published at https://futureproof.collab365.com/method and https://futureproof.collab365.com/data/2026-q4.1 under CC BY 4.0.

Where these numbers come from

About the data on this page

Provisional, because the ONS revises this figure in the autumn.
This headcount comes from a survey, not a census, so treat it as a good estimate rather than an exact count.
3 tasks scored differently between repeat runs, so their range on this page is wider. We would rather show the wobble than hide it.
One row is marked low confidence, so treat it as a ballpark rather than a fine measurement.
The match between this job and its counterpart in the other country is partial, so the two pages count slightly different groups of people.
27 of this occupation's scored task statements carry a score that was measured under a different occupation's context, because the statement is shared between jobs and has only been scored once so far. Each one names the occupation it was measured under in the free routes below; none is presented as a measurement for this job.
Task clusters are not derived in this release, so the task-cluster field is empty and no Collab365 Space routing is attached to this occupation yet.

Figures on this page come from release 2026-q4.1, published 2026-08-05. Every release keeps its own permanent address, so a figure you cite in March is still there, unchanged, in November.

The plain-English wording on this page is assembled directly from the task statements and the published ratings, not written by hand for this occupation. That is why it is specific, and it is also why we say so.

The routes and free resources further up are today’s, not the release’s (last reviewed 2026-08-05). A route is an offer, not a historical fact, so it moves on its own clock.
