Are you an experienced Nursing Assistant that is passionate about keeping patients in the comfort of their own home to avoid hospital admissions, or supporting patients discharged home after a lengthy hospital stay? Then this is the role for you.

As part of the Crisis Response and Discharge to Assess Team, you will be part of a wider multidisciplinary team which includes Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Nurses, and Pharmacy.
We will support you with specialist and bespoke training to reach your potential and excel in your chosen career path. You will receive one-to-one clinical support, professional development, and guidance.
This role is a seven-day service working between the hours of 8 am - 9:30 pm on a rota basis. We promote flexibility and are happy to support different working patterns within the needs of the service.
In the role as Senior Nursing Assistant, working without direct supervision, you will be responsible for delivering clinical care for patients in their own home. You will have immediate access to a qualified staff member for advice and direction on care as required.
You will be responsible for prioritising your own caseload of work and be responsible for tasks delegated from a registered nurse.
Communicating effectively with patients, relatives, carers, and other healthcare practitioners is essential, ensuring any concerns are listened to and relevant actions are taken.
You will always act in a manner which illustrates respect for privacy, dignity, and confidentiality.
A full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle is required for this role as you will be travelling across the Trafford Community locality.
