An exciting opportunity has arisen to work within our busy Paediatric Critical Care Department in RMCH.
We are looking for compassionate and caring clinical and environmental assistants with a passion to be a key part of the patient care journey here at Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) in Paediatric Critical Care. Our Assistants take great pride in the essential work we do supporting our nursing, medical and AHP teams in caring for our patients and families, delivering consistent, high quality, patient focused care.
The role requires the ability to communicate in a sensitive and compassionate manner with children, relatives, and other members of the multi-disciplinary team, respond quickly to demanding situations and work flexibly across a range of day and night shifts over 7 days a week showing commitment to the effective running of the busy unit.
Main duties of the job
With supervision and guidance from the registered nursing team recognising Trust guidelines & protocols, you will support care needs for the child and their family/carers during their stay in PCC. An ability to manage busy and challenging situations and working under pressure is also required.
We look forward to meeting candidates who strive to provide a clean well maintained ward and will take responsibility for building key relationships with domestic supervisors and help monitor the unit and maintain cleanliness of equipment and surrounding areas.
Working for our organisation
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts 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 30,000 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.
