Ward A5 is a 28 bedded trauma orthopaedic unit based on the 1st floor at Wythenshawe hospital. We have a high number of fragility fracture patients and a dedicated trauma co Ordinator’s team to expedite surgery. We work closely with the MDT to ensure right care, right place and right patient. Many of our patients live with dementia and our nurses excel in building relationships with the patients and relatives alike. Working closely with patients living with dementia provides opportunities to support the latest thinking in nursing.

On ward A5 our vision is to improve the quality of life and health for the patients we care for. We thrive to excel in delivering a quality service, focused on safety, research and teaching. We want to attract, develop and retain our workforce. The MFT values: Everyone Matters, Dignity and Care, Working Together and Open and Honest, are the principles that guide the way we work every day. We thrive to deliver a high-quality personalised experience for all our patients and staff.

Are you dynamic, creative, caring and looking for an opportunity to positively impact upon patient care and patient experience?

A personal development plan will be put in place to meet your ongoing development needs and we will provide a comprehensive induction programme.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating 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 28,000 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 & 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 & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programs. 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, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

The therapeutic activity coordinator will lead on developing a therapeutic activity programme, facilitating groups and individual interventions and activities to support patients in their recovery goals. The post holder will work as a member of the multidisciplinary team, liaising closely with nursing and therapy staff to design person centered activities contributing positively to the emotional and psychological wellbeing of patients.

Responsibilities would be to plan, organise and co-ordinate the Ward Activity Programme, including the timetabling and delivery of group or individual activities in line with ward and therapy timetables.
Be innovative in creating an engaging and varied suite of therapeutic activities including arts, music, reminiscence therapy and physical activities.
