Offer description

Overview

Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust is seeking compassionate and caring Nursing Assistants who want to be a key part of the patient care journey. The closing date is 06 October 2025.

We’re looking for Nursing Assistants who take 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 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, and you’ll work flexibly across a range of day and night shifts over 7 days a week.


Main duties of the job

Under supervision of Registered Nurses & Operating Departmental Practitioners (ODPs) within Trust guidelines and protocols, you’ll assist the Theatre Nursing team and ODPs in delivering excellent standards of patient care. Duties include supporting during each phase of a patient’s perioperative care and preparing operating theatres.

Following on-the-job training and assessment, you’ll learn to undertake a range of delegated clinical care duties, including recording patient observations and monitoring changes in patient conditions.


On the Job Training Opportunities

If you are new to healthcare, you’ll be supported to develop your knowledge and skills through our Support Worker Development Programme for Nursing Assistants, which includes completion of the Care Certificate. Completion of the Programme provides the opportunity to progress into a Band 3 Nursing Assistant role.

If you are an experienced Nursing Assistant seeking a Band 3 role, you’ll undertake a skills analysis at start-up to identify any gaps. You’ll then be supported to access relevant clinical modules to progress to a Band 3 post on completion. Evidence of prior learning will be reviewed and considered.

We foster an inclusive culture and provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing as you care for others.


Job responsibilities
