Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust
Are you a Registered Nurse searching for career development within a supportive, multi-disciplinary team where no two days are the same? If so, and you're wanting to take your career to the next level in Critical Care, then look no further - This is the place for you!
Critical Care at Salford Care Organisation is expanding with opportunities across our Service, which include Critical Care at Bury Care Organisation.
This expansion means an increase in staffing across our Critical Care service at Band 5 level, and we are seeking Registered Nurses who are either experienced in Critical Care or new to Critical Care, as well as Newly Qualified Nurses (who have had their extended placement in Critical Care) to join us and our growing multi-disciplinary teams.
Registered Nurses working within our services have progressed to higher band roles within the service, including Specialist Nursing roles, Advanced Critical Care Practitioner, Specialist Nursing in Organ Donation, and multiple other specialist roles. We are passionate about supporting and growing our workforce to maximize their potential to benefit Patients, Staff, and the wider services.

Job Responsibilities

The NCA can no longer accept applications from International Nurses and Midwives who are yet to complete all competencies needed to receive a full NMC PIN to practice in the UK, as we have paused our OSCE programme indefinitely.
