Overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen to work as part of the lung biopsy team at Wythenshawe Hospital. We are a diagnostic service within the award‑winning lung cancer team. Patients attend our unit for lung biopsies under CT or Ultrasound guidance, and we are situated in a brand new purpose‑built unit.
You will work as a Compassionate Nursing Assistant, providing essential support to our nursing teams. You will communicate in a sensitive and compassionate manner with patients, relatives, and other members of the multidisciplinary team, working flexibly across a range of shifts between 07:30‑18:30 on weekdays with very occasional weekend shifts.
Being supervised by Registered Nurses and working within Trust guidelines and protocols, you will assist the Nursing team in delivering an excellent standard of patient care that you would expect for yourself and your loved ones.
Training and Development
Following on‑the‑job training and assessment, you will learn how to undertake a range of delegated clinical care duties that include recording patient observations, Venepuncture and Cannulation.
On joining MFT, if you are new to working in healthcare, you will be supported to develop your knowledge and skills through our Support Worker Development Programme for Nursing Assistants. Completion of the programme will give you the opportunity to progress into a Band 3 Nursing Assistant role.
If you are an experienced Nursing Assistant seeking a new opportunity in a Band 3 role, you will undertake a skills analysis at the start of your employment. Any identified gaps will be supported with relevant clinical skills modules to aid progression to a Band 3 post.
