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, working flexibly across a range of day shifts over 5 days a week.

The RAPID Hub is the lung cancer diagnostics clinic at Wythenshawe and is a busy and fast paced outpatient environment. The role will see you supporting physician and nurse-led clinics, helping with observations, venepunture and ECGs.
You will be working across both the screening and RAPID hubs.
Main duties of the job
Being supervised by Registered Nurses & within Trust guidelines & protocols, you'll assist the Nursing team in delivering the excellent standard of patient care that you would expect for yourself and your loved ones.
Your duties will involve supporting patients with personal care needs, including mobilising, toileting, eating & drinking. You'll support the clinics and perform observations, ECGs and venepuncture for our patient group.
Following on the job training and assessment, you'll learn how to undertake a range of delegated clinical care duties that include recording patient observations & changes to patient conditions.
