This is a developmental role. The Student Nursing Associate (SNA) will work towards qualification as a Nursing Associate through successful completion of the Nursing Associate training programme. This includes the attainment of a level 5 Foundation Degree equivalent qualification.
Job Summary
The SNA will develop and maintain knowledge, skills and competencies related to the role of Nursing Associate within the service and through completion of the nursing associate training programme which includes working in care settings and delivery of person-centred care.
Main Duties of the Job
The Nursing Associate Apprenticeship programme combines and integrates both academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and education providers. The SNA will be based, as an employee, in a particular organisation, in a specific setting, but will experience working in alternative settings in order that they gain a wide appreciation of many health and care contexts and are able to fulfil all the requirements of the programme.
At the end of the programme, the SNA will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and behaviours relevant to employment as a nursing associate and will work to a Nationally recognised code of conduct.
1. The training programme emphasises the role that Student Nursing Associates can play in life-course (pre-conception to end of life) approaches towards health and well-being and the ways in which they actively contribute to the delivery of holistic care.
2. Holistic care, across life-course, is a whole-person approach which considers, and equally values, physical, psychological and public health needs, learning disabilities, social, economic, spiritual and other factors in the assessing, planning and delivery of care.
3. The overall outcome from the training programme is a nursing associate that is fit to practice in the widest range of settings as well as being equipped with the specific knowledge, skills and capabilities required for the context in which they have trained and are employed.
