Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
We're looking for flexible, compassionate and caring Nursing Assistants with a passion to be a key part of the patient care journey here at Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). We are recruiting across both Wythenshawe and Trafford Hospital inpatient sites. 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. 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.
Main duties of the job
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.
Your main duties will involve supporting patients with their personal care needs, including mobilising, toileting, bathing, dressing, eating and drinking.
Following on the job training and assessment, you'll learn how to undertake a range of delegated, clinical care duties that include recording patient observations and changes to patient clinical conditions.

On joining MFT, if you are new to working in healthcare, you'll be supported to develop your knowledge and skills through our Development Programme for Nursing Assistants which includes completion of the Care Certificate. The completion of the Development Programme will give you the opportunity to progress into a Band 3 Nursing Assistant role.
If you're an experienced NA with a comprehensive range of skills and seeking a new opportunity in a Band 3 role, you'll undertake a skills analysis when you start to ensure that you meet the skills required for your role. If there are any gaps identified in your clinical skills knowledge, you'll be supported to access relevant modules from the clinical skills programme to support your progression to a Band 3 post on completion.
