Job overview
An excellent opportunity has arisen to join our outstanding nursing team in the gold accredited Critical Care at Manchester Royal Infirmary. Our Critical Care unit comprises of Adult ITU, Cardiac ITU, HDU, and High Care across four units and 62 beds, caring for patients from multiple disciplines including trauma, post-surgical (vascular, head and neck, ENT, and HPB) and cardiology at both intensive care and high dependency levels.
Main duties of the job
We are looking to recruit energetic, motivated, enthusiastic, and dedicated band 5 nurses to work collaboratively across all units alongside our existing team of highly skilled, dynamic, and multi-disciplinary professionals.
Successful candidates will be welcomed into our friendly, diverse, and supportive team. For experienced nurses, previous experience in the intensive care environment (either general or cardiac) is not essential but desirable. Newly qualified nurses with acute care/ITU experience who can demonstrate a strong desire for learning and development within this role will be considered for the post. All applicants will need to demonstrate professionalism and a dedication to ongoing learning and development to achieve the desired standards of critical care nursing.
We offer a highly supportive and motivated working environment with progression, learning, and development at its heart. Any new recruits will be given a fully supported, high-quality preceptorship period, with ongoing learning opportunities through study days, one-to-one, and group teaching sessions delivered by our dedicated education team. Following the preceptorship period, staff nurses are encouraged and supported to gain their nationally recognised Certificate in Critical Care Nursing.
