We’re looking for compassionate and caring Nursing Assistants with a passion to be a key part of the patient care journey at Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). Our Nursing Assistants take great pride in the essential work we do. 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 multidisciplinary team, working flexibly across a range of day and night shifts over 7 days a week.
Being supervised by Registered Nurses and within Trust guidelines & protocols, you’ll assist the nursing team in delivering an excellent standard of patient care that you would expect for yourself and your loved ones.
Responsibilities include supporting neurological patients with personal care needs, including mobilising, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating & drinking, and recording patient observations and changes to patient conditions after on-job training and assessment.
On the Job Training Opportunities
On joining MFT, if you are new to working in healthcare, you’ll be supported to develop your knowledge & skills through the Support Worker Development Programme for Nursing Assistants. Completion of the programme gives you the opportunity to progress into a Band 3 Nursing Assistant role.
If you are 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 at start to ensure you meet the required skills. Any gaps identified will be supported with relevant clinical skills modules to support progression to a Band 3 post upon completion. Evidence of prior learning will be reviewed and considered.
