Description

We're looking for compassionate and caring Nursing Assistants with a passion to be a key part of the patient care journey here at Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MFT).

Our Nursing Assistants take great pride in the essential work we do. That's because we're not just helping patients, we're going the extra mile for them - day in, day out. Our nursing teams are committed to caring for our patients and families, delivering consistent, high quality, patient focused care.


You'll communicate in a sensitive and compassionate manner with patients, relatives, and other members of the multi-disciplinary team, working flexibly across a range of day and night shifts over 7 days a week.

The Division of Surgery is looking for Nursing Assistants to work within the Main Theatre suite. There are 7 Theatres, undertaking both elective and non-elective work.

We specialise in General & Colorectal, Urology, Da-Vinci Robotic Surgery, Maxillofacial, ENT Paediatric and Breast surgery, elective and emergency obstetric surgery.


With a passion for helping others and an ability to demonstrate compassion in your approach to care for our patients, your support and 'hands on' work will offer not only our patients a more positive and reassuring hospital stay, but you individually; great job satisfaction in knowing your dedication and commitment has made a real difference to the people whom you'll be caring for.


Being supervised by Registered Nurses & within Trust guidelines & protocols, you'll assist the Nursing team in delivering the excellent standard of patient care that you would expect for yourself and your loved ones.

Your duties will involve supporting patients with personal care needs, including mobilising, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating & drinking.


Following on the job training and assessment, you'll learn how to undertake a range of delegated clinical care duties that include recording patient observations & changes to patient conditions.

The great news is, the completion of the Support Worker Development Programme will give you the opportunity to progress into a Band 3 Nursing Assistant role.


If you're an experienced Nursing Assistant with a comprehensive range of skills & seeking a new opportunity in a Band 3 role, you'll undertake a skills analysis when you start to ensure that you meet the skills required for your role.

If there are any gaps identified in your knowledge, you'll be supported to access relevant clinical skills modules to support your progression to a Band 3 post on completion.

Evidence of prior learning will be reviewed and considered.

We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you'll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.


We've also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our brand-new Electronic Patient Record system which we've launched in September 2022.


We're proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes.
