Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check

As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone.

What is a DBS Check?

A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role:

Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings.

Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police thats considered relevant to the role.

Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the childrens and/or adults barred lists.

Who Needs a DBS Check

Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role.

The Costs for a DBS

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment. If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred.

For more information about the cost of the various types of DBS, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-fees-are-changing-in-december

DBS Update Service

Candidates are also expected to register with the DBS Update Service which must be completed within 30 days of the certificate being issued. This helps streamline future employment checks and supports safer recruitment practices. For more information, please visit the DBS Update Service.

Name: Sarah Waite Position: Senior sister Email: [email protected] Phone number: 01132068580 Shortlisting Date: 22.09.26 Interview Date: 01.10.26

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic Band 6 Junior Sister/Charge Nurse to join our nurse-led Systemic Anti-Cancer Therapy (SACT) Day Case Unit (J80) on a full-time, 12-month secondment.

J80 is a dynamic and fast-paced department, caring for approximately 70-90 patients each day who attend for a wide range of day-case treatments. We are seeking an experienced registered nurse with a strong background in haematology, oncology, or a related speciality, together with experience in the administration and delivery of SACT.

This is an excellent leadership opportunity for a skilled and experienced nurse with a broad range of clinical expertise, who is passionate about delivering high-quality care and supporting patients with complex needs. The successful candidate will play a key role in leading and managing this specialist service while working alongside the Senior Sisters to support the day-to-day management and ongoing development of the unit.

You will possess excellent communication, interpersonal and leadership skills and will be responsible for supporting and developing the nursing team, promoting professional standards and ensuring the delivery of safe, effective and patient-centred care.

You will provide clinical leadership, support and develop junior staff, contribute to service improvement initiatives, and act as a role model for professional practice. The role requires excellent organisational, communication and decision-making skills, with the ability to manage a fast-paced environment while supporting patients with complex oncology and haematology needs.
