Trainee Nursing Associate Apprentice

1 week ago


Bridport, United Kingdom Dorset HealthCare University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Dorset HealthCare are delighted to be offering a fantastic development opportunity for a Trainee Nursing Associate (Apprenticeship) role based at Colmers ward in Bridport Hospital.

Colmers ward is a hard working friendly team. Our patients are at the heart of what we do. We are a 33 bedded ward, caring predominately for elderly frail people requiring rehabilitation, palliative care, stroke and dementia care.

We actively encourage career development through our apprenticeship programmes. If you are looking for a new challenge and career development we would be happy to support the right person to achieve this

During the two years, you must complete at least 2,300 programme hours which are divided to achieve an equal balance of theory and practice learning. To meet the requirements of the training programme, TNAs must work in a range of settings and situations to gain as much experience as possible. Full support will be given in the workplace by a Practice Assessor and Practice Supervisor and a provider will provide a Practice Tutor/ Academic Advisor that also offers educational support and encouragement along this career path.

Nursing Associates are valued members of the nursing team who complete a two-year foundation degree prior to qualifying. Nursing Associates are accountable for their own practice and are regulated by the Nursing and Midwifery Council. This opportunity is a development role, from Trainee Nursing Associate (TNA) Band 3 to Registered Nursing Associate (RNA) Band 4.

During the apprenticeship, you will work with your allocated learning provider, towards the NMC’s Standards of proficiency for Nursing Associates. You will also combine your academic work with on-the-job experience within your team.

At Dorset HealthCare we’re on a mission to empower people to make the most of their lives through our outstanding, joined-up healthcare services. We’re a dynamic, forward-looking Trust, running 12 community hospitals, specialist inpatient facilities and a wide range of integrated community and mental health services for a population of almost 800,000 people.

We do things differently here - it’s one of the reasons the CQC rated us ‘outstanding’ in 2019. It’s also why 95% of patients across our services say they have a good or very good experience of our services and 89% of staff feel they can really make a difference. Whether you’re looking to work with us in one of our bustling market towns, vibrant urban locations, thriving seaside spots, or among the rolling hills of Dorset, there are lots of ways you can make a difference in our communities.

Our 7,000-strong workforce is at the heart of what we do and our success is a testament to our brilliant people. We're all about building a workplace for the future, we believe in equal opportunities and we celebrate diversity. We’re an inclusive workplace, where everyone is welcome, everyone can be authentic, and we are all encouraged to be the best version of ourselves.

Working with us you’ll be part of a strong team, challenge yourself, build a career, and teach us what we don’t know. And you’ll be working towards our vision to be better every day through excellence, compassion and expertise in all we do.
