Job overview
There are two opportunities to join the Infection Prevention and Control Team at MFT. One post for the Oxford Road Campus site and North Manchester General has arisen to appoint enthusiastic Band 6 nurses within the field of Infection Prevention and Control and Tissue Viability. This is an exciting time to join an innovative and expanding team. Both specialties offer high-profile agendas and corporate working which will allow practitioners to develop skills across a wide range of clinical services.
The role will provide an opportunity for a motivated enthusiastic nurse with an interest in Infection Prevention and Control and Tissue Viability to gain valuable experience across a wide variety of disciplines. Staff will have the opportunity to work on each of the hospital sites to broaden the wealth of experiences each site offers in order to meet service needs.
Core hours of the service are 08 - 17.00 covering 7 days a week.
Main duties of the job
As a professional role model you will provide direct and indirect clinical care, ensuring the needs of the patient are central to service delivery. You will monitor and improve standards of care through supervision of practice, clinical audit, evidence-based practice, teaching and supporting professional colleagues. Consequently, the successful candidate will need the ability to travel independently across hospital sites. Please read the job description to understand the main duties of the role.
