MFT has become the largest employer of PA's in the NW with over 40 employed PAs. We are now seeking a PA to work in Clinical Haematology, Inpatient Medical Specialties at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Patient care and safety are at the core of every role.

We support and value our staff and have a PA consultant clinical lead, non-clinical lead, lead PA and a dedicated PA support team.

We have monthly half day Physician Associate teaching to support CPD and provide study leave funding. We run a "preceptorship" band 6 year to support newly qualified PA's in the transition.

Subject to satisfactorily completing agreed competencies, in line with the Faculty of Physician Associates recommendations, PA's on a permanent contract can then advance to band 7 PA roles after the first year of employment.

COVID-19 vaccination remains the best way to protect yourself, your family, your colleagues and of course patients from the virus when working in our healthcare settings.

Whilst COVID-19 vaccination is not currently a condition of employment, we do encourage our staff to get vaccinated.

We will be checking the vaccination status of all new starters so that we can manage individual and environmental risks, and so that we can support those who may be undecided about vaccination.

If you are unvaccinated, there is helpful advice and information available by searching on the 'NHS England' website where you can also find out more about how to access the vaccination.

There is currently Government consultation underway which will determine whether some new employees may need to be vaccinated.

Diversity Matters

We're looking forward to hearing from you
