Trainee Nursing Associate

7 months ago


Huddersfield, United Kingdom Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Trainee Nursing Associate (TNA) will work towards progression into the post of a registered Nursing Associate through the successful completion of a two-year level 5 foundation degree training programme, with partnership from the University of Huddersfield.

The TNA will deliver high quality, compassionate care under the direction of a registered nurse (or other registered care professional dependant on setting) with a focus on promoting health and independence.

The TNA programme combines and integrates both academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and education providers. The TNA will be based, as an employee, within CHFT in a specific setting, but will experience working in alternative settings across Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield, in order to gain a wide appreciation of heath and care contexts, and fulfil the requirements of the programme.

The Trainee Nursing Associate role requires attendance on a 2-year full time apprenticeship programme. This is run in partnership with the University of Huddersfield and follows a working whilst learning model.

During the programme you will be expected to complete academic study, practical hours within your base area within CHFT, and alternative placements across the West Yorkshire partnership to gain experience in various settings.

Upon completion of the programme, the TNA will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and behaviours relevant to employment as a Nursing Associate and will work to the Nursing and Midwifery Code of Conduct.

Calderdale & Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust is a dynamic and successful organisation with a strong organisation and personal development focus. With over 5'500 employees and a turnover of £310 million, the Trust provides a comprehensive range of secondary care services to the people of Calderdale and Huddersfield and has an exceptional reputation for service delivery.

- The overall outcome from the Trainee Nursing Associate 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 attitudes required for the context in which they are employed.

Clinical Duties
