We’re looking for compassionate and caring Nursing Assistants with a passion to be a key part of the patient care journey here at 91 Dermot Murphy Close. 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. Our nursing teams are committed to caring for our patients and families, delivering consistent, high quality, patient focused care.

You’ll communicate in a sensitive and compassionate manner with patients, relatives, and other members of the multi-disciplinary team. The service runs 7 days a week, 24 hours per day so this role involves working weekends and bank holidays. Internal rotation onto nights will also be required

The Dermot Murphy Continuing Healthcare Unit is a purpose built 22 bedded facility based in the M20 locality of South Manchester, close to tram and bus links to surrounding areas. The building is set in its own grounds and provides on site parking for staff. We look after patients with complex physical health needs who need nursing or personal care.
Nursing staff provide specialist 24-hour nursing skills to a broad range of highly dependent people including those with severe multiple disabilities following an acquired brain or other complex injury or diagnosis with progressive neurological, respiratory, cardiac, renal, musculoskeletal or gastrointestinal diseases. The service is fully equipped to deliver end of life care.

Working under the supervision of Registered Nurses and within Trust guidelines & protocols, you’ll assist in delivering the excellent patient care you would expect for yourself and your loved ones.

Following on the job training & assessment, you’ll learn how to undertake a range of delegated, duties that include recording patient observations & changes to clinical conditions.

Previous community experience is preferred; however, training will be available.

On the Job Training Opportunities

If you are new to working in healthcare, you’ll be supported to develop yourself through our Support Worker Development Programme for Nursing Assistants. The great news is, the completion of this Programme will give you the opportunity to progress into a Band 3 Nursing Assistant role.

If you’re an experienced Nursing Assistant seeking a new opportunity, you’ll undertake a skills analysis when you start to ensure that you meet the skills required for your role. If there are any gaps identified in your clinical skills knowledge, you’ll be supported to access relevant modules to support your progression to a Band 3 post on completion.

Evidence of prior learning will be reviewed and considered.

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 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, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

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.

If you’re a more experienced Nursing Assistant seeking a new opportunity in a Band 3 role, you’ll undertake a skills analysis when you start to identify any gaps in your clinical skills knowledge needed for your role. You’ll then be supported to access relevant modules from the clinical skills programme to support your progression to a Band 3 post on completion.
