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

Working under the supervision of Registered Nurses and within Trust guidelines and 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.

Following on the job training and assessment, you'll learn how to undertake a range of delegated, clinical care duties that include

The role of the Clinical Environmental Assistant is mainly one of support to the staff and does NOT have the same degree of patient contact as would be expected in a general ward.

On the Job Training Opportunities

On joining MFT, if you are new to working in healthcare, you'll be supported to develop your knowledge and skills through our Support Worker Development Programme for Clinical and Environmental Assistants.

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 Electronic Patient Record system which 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.

But more than that, our team's commitment to work with empathy, consideration and dignity means that we're among the best - and most compassionate - in our field.

If you're a more experienced Nursing Assistant seeking a new opportunity in a Band 3 role, you'll undertake a skills analysis when you start to identify any gaps in your clinical skills knowledge needed for your role.

You'll then be supported to access relevant modules from the clinical skills programme to support your progression to a Band 3 post on completion.
