Reference: 349-WTWA-8221687-RL4-APP
Job summary
We're looking for compassionate and caring Healthcare Assistants with a passion to be a key part of the patient care journey here at Manchester University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). Our Healthcare Assistants take great pride in the essential work we do. That's because we're not just helping patients, we're going the extra mile for them - day in, day out. 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 role will see you work closely with patients diagnosed with lung cancer during their investigations and treatment in our outpatient clinics.
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.
On the Job Training Opportunities
On joining MFT, if you are new to working in healthcare, you'll be supported to develop your knowledge & skills through our Support Worker Development Programme for Nursing Assistants
If you're an experienced Nursing Assistant with a comprehensive range of skills & seeking a new opportunity in a Band 3 role, you'll undertake a skills analysis when you start to ensure that you meet the skills required for your role. If there are any gaps identified in your knowledge, you'll be supported to access relevant clinical skills modules to support your Band 3 post on completion.
Evidence of prior learning will be reviewed and considered.
