Huddersfield, United Kingdom Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job summary

The Trainee Nursing Associate (TNA) will work towards progression into the post of a registered Nursing Associate through the successful completion of a two-year level 5 foundation degree training programme, with partnership from the University of Huddersfield.

The TNA will deliver high quality, compassionate care under the direction of a registered nurse (or other registered care professional dependant on setting) with a focus on promoting health and independence.

The TNA programme assessment day will be held on Monday 30th September.

The TNA programme combines and integrates both academic and work-based learning through close collaboration between employers and education providers. The TNA will be based, as an employee, within CHFT in a specific setting, but will experience working in alternative settings across Kirklees, Calderdale and Wakefield, in order to gain a wide appreciation of heath and care contexts, and fulfil the requirements of the programme.

Main duties of the job

The Trainee Nursing Associate will be involved in care across the lifespan (pre-conception to end of life), with an approach towards health and well-being that actively contributes to the delivery of holistic care. Holistic care, across life-course, is a whole-person approach which considers, and equally values, physical, psychological, and public health needs, learning disabilities, social, economic, spiritual, and other factors in the assessing, planning and delivery of care. The overall outcome from the Trainee Nursing Associate 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 attitudes required for the context in which they are employed.

About us

We employ more than 6,500 staffwho deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals,Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, healthcentres and in patients' homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.

We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children's and young people's services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.

We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.

We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation.Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS- yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boardslisten to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members - patients, staff andthe local community.

Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in thechanges to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
