North Tyneside, United Kingdom Northumbria Healthcare - NHCT Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust Full time

We are delighted to advise of an exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our latest cohort to the Trainee Nursing Associate Programme.

Would you like to gain a Foundation Degree in Healthcare Practice and work to become a Band 4 Nursing Associate? Are you a non-registered healthcare professional looking for the next step in your career? If so, an exciting opportunity has arisen for enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join our Trainee Nursing Associate Programme.

Please review the attached job description for an overview of the essential criteria required for this role.

You will also be expected to attend a Higher Education Institute (HEI) 1 day a week throughout the programme to complete the academic aspect of the programme, this will be delivered by Teesside University in their Darlington Campus.

The University costs for the programme are fully funded and it is a training programme that combines both academic and work-based learning in the physical, psychological and public health aspects of care from pre-conception to end of life. The course is structured and you will experience a variety of placements across the breadth of health and social care sectors in different organisations, with the aim of giving trainees the widest exposure to healthcare.

This is a developmental role. The trainee will work towards progression into the post of Nursing Associate through successful completion of the Nursing Associate training programme which includes the attainment of a level 5 Foundation Degree equivalent qualification. They will develop
and maintain knowledge, skills and competencies related to the role of Nursing Associate within the service and through completion of the Nursing Associate training programme which includes working in care settings and delivery of person-centred care. The Nursing Associate training programme combines and integrates both academic and work based learning through close collaboration between employers and education providers. A trainee Nursing Associate will be based, as an employee, in a particular organisation, in a specific setting,
but will experience working in alternative settings in order that they gain a wide appreciation of many health and care contexts and are able to fulfil all the requirements of the programme. At the end of the programme, the trainee Nursing Associate will be equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and behaviours relevant to employment as a Nursing Associate and will work to a nationally recognised code of conduct.

a) The training programme emphasises the role that trainee Nursing Associates can play in life-course (pre-conception to end of life) approaches towards health and well-being and the ways in which they actively contribute to the delivery of holistic care. Holistic care, across life-course, is a whole-person approach which considers, and equally values1, physical, psychological and public health needs, learning disabilities, social, economic, spiritual and other factors in the assessing, planning and delivery of care.

b) The overall outcome from the training 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 capabilities required for the context in which they have trained and are employed.
