Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Macmillan Cancer information and Support Centre team at North Manchester General Hospital, working as a Macmillan Counsellor and Psychological Support Co-ordinator.
As Macmillan Counsellor and Psychological Support Co-ordinator you will manage and develop the established counselling service for cancer patients and relatives at the hospital. Responsible for volunteer counsellors recruited into the team, you will assign them to clients as appropriate, as well as delivering appropriate psychological therapy for clients yourself where required.
You will work closely with cancer teams at North Manchester General who refer clients to the service as well as the Macmillan Counsellor and Psychological Support Co-ordinators on other MFT hospital sites ensuring parity of provision across the Trust.
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 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 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 & 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.
Diversity Matters
We’re looking forward to hearing from you
