Job overview
An opportunity has arisen for you to join our Emergency Gynaecology Ward St Mary's Hospital at Wythenshawe Hospital, within Manchester NHS Foundation Trust.
Ward F16 is a 15 in patient bedded emergency ward with a designated 4 bedded day case unit delivering an exemplary standard of nursing care to our patients. Emergency patients are received from the Emergency Gynaecology Unit, ED and other neighbouring health care settings.
Our designated day case unit provides urgent theatre for our emergency patients 5 days per week in conjunction with our emergency theatres.
Join us and our team, working flexibly across a range of day and night shifts, providing compassionate care to people when they need you most.
Ideally, you’ll already have some caring experience. You might have gained this in a healthcare or social care setting, or the service industry. Or you might be a carer or guardian outside of work. It’s all relevant and useful experience. If you’ve got the personal skills, resilience, and work ethic we’re looking for, it’s a good start.
If you’ve already got qualifications like the National Care Certificate or Level 2 Apprenticeship in healthcare, that’s great. But don’t worry, our Clinical Support Worker Development Programme will support you to gain the skills and knowledge you need. After this training, you’ll be a well-prepared and fully qualified Nursing Assistant, with the opportunity to train and progress.
Main duties of the job
By joining us as a Nursing Assistant, you’ll make sure our patients have the quality care and support they deserve.
These roles are vital and varied. As a Nursing Assistant, you will work with patients who are experiencing emergency gynaecological/pregnancy conditions requiring treatment and investigations in a variety of forms. You will have involvement in the care of patients who have a physical/learning disability, have dementia or who suffer from anxiety. Whatever reason a loved one is in hospital, it takes its toll on their family too. You’ll treat every person you come across with dignity, respect, kindness, and patience.
Working for our organisation
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.8bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. 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. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
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. 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.
On joining MFT, you’ll be supported to develop your knowledge and skills through our Support Worker Development Programme for Nursing Assistants that includes completion of the Care Certificate for candidates who have not completed this previously. 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 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.
To find out more about the key responsibilities and the specific skills and experience you’ll need, take a look at the Job Description & Person Specification attachments under the ‘Supporting Documents’ heading. So that you’re even more equipped to make an informed decision to apply to us, you’ll need to take time to read the ‘Candidate Essentials Guide’ that sits with the Job Description and Person Specification. This document provides you with details about the Trust, our benefits and outlines how ‘we care for you as you care for others’. Most importantly, it also contains critical information you’ll need to be aware of before you submit an application form.
