Job description

Overview

Trafford Elective surgical Hub dedicated to the delivery of high quality complex health nursing care. You will work as part of a highly motivated team on Ward 12. Experience of working in teams is essential. We are also seeking outstanding personal qualities such as self‑motivation, communication skills and a professional aptitude to work. Having pride in providing a high standard of nursing care and supporting vulnerable adults in complex and distressing situations is essential. An ability to manage busy and challenging situations and work under pressure is also required.

At Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), our Nursing Assistants take great pride in the essential work we do. That's because we're not just helping patients, we're going the extra mile for them – day in, day out. But more than that, our team's commitment to work with empathy, consideration and dignity means that we're among the best – and most compassionate – in our field. MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust in England with a turnover of over £3bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We're recreating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & 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 & staff experience, operational effectiveness & drive 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 & 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.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open and transparent, protect your health and wellbeing, and shape the future of our organisation together.
