Job overview
We’re looking for dedicated, efficient but above all, hugely caring Nursing Assistants to join our team allowing you the chance to ‘shine brighter’ and take a really positive step in your career.
With a passion for helping others and an ability to demonstrate compassion and empathy in your approach to caring for our patients, your support and ‘hands on’ work will offer not only our patients a more positive and reassuring hospital stay but you great job satisfaction in knowing your dedication and commitment has made a real difference to both your ward and fundamentally the people you’re caring for.
At the heart of the ward, you’ll form a vital part of the team at the forefront of delivering direct care to our patients by communicating effectively and with compassion and assisting them with their personal needs and mobility, supporting with eating and drinking, and recording observations. Don’t be daunted by all of this if you’re coming with no care experience as a fully supported training programme will be provided for you.
Main duties of the job
* Be responsible for participating and assisting in the delivery of care/services to patient/service users within the Trust.
* Work under the overall supervision of a registered member of staff.
* Carry out a limited number of delegated procedures requiring a base level of theoretical knowledge, understanding and skill specific to the specialist area.
Working for our organisation
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trusts in England with a turnover of £2.8bn and is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health and social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals and community services from across Manchester, Trafford and beyond, we champion collaborative working and 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 and staff experience, operational effectiveness and 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 and 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.
