What We're Looking For:

We are seeking individuals with a strong commitment to nursing values and a genuine desire to deliver compassionate, professional, and respectful care to patients and their families. You will play a key role in maintaining a clean and safe environment, helping reduce the risk of infection, and ensuring the ward remains well-organised. As part of our team, you'll contribute to a supportive, patient-centred care environment.

We recognise that flexible working is important. We take requests for flexible working seriously, consider any request we receive and try to work with you so we can explore if your request may fit with the needs of the service.

The salary for the role is only one part of the excellent package of benefits we offer to you:

2. NHS pension scheme membership
3. Salary sacrifice schemes for lease cars, home electronics and more, to make your salary go further
4. NHS Staff discounts
5. Cycle to work scheme
6. Salary finance for loans, savings, budget planning and tips on managing debt
7. Stockport Credit Union for local financial advice

As a Health Care Worker, you will need to communicate effectively with the multi-disciplinary team, under the supervision of a registered nurse. Carry out ward clerical and IT tasks, as required.

If successful, this vacancy will require an enhanced DBS check at a cost of £45.50. This cost will be deducted from your first Trust salary. In addition to this, it will be a condition of your employment that you will join the DBS update service and pay the annual subscription fee of £16.
