Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust
With the expansion of our service from 17 beds to 19 beds, we are recruiting Band 5 staff nurses to work within our highly skilled, dynamic multi-disciplinary team. This is an excellent opportunity for you to join our Adult Intensive Care, which accommodates both level 3 and level 2 patients. We provide care for patients from many specialities, which more recently includes both Thoracic and Burns patients.
We are seeking to recruit energetic, enthusiastic, and experienced nurses to provide high standards of care to patients. The successful candidate will be welcomed into our friendly, forward-thinking, and motivated team.
Main duties of the job
We are looking to recruit hardworking individuals to work as part of a large team within our busy Intensive Care Unit. Previous experience in an acute setting is essential, with experience in burns or thoracics being highly desirable. ICU experience is desirable but not essential as comprehensive in-service training is provided.
We offer a supportive environment and good work-life balance with a rostering system that is responsive to the needs of staff. We are fully committed to facilitating learning and the development of our staff.
