We are seeking proactive, forward-thinking Nurses who have patient care and experience at their heart. You will possess adept communication skills, be motivated, and eager to embrace variety in a fast-paced environment.

Nursing roles at The Manchester University Hospital Foundation Trust (MFT) are about having access to fantastic learning facilities and developmental opportunities. You will have access to the MFT Academy and LEAD Training Programmes, coaching, and department-specific training and development opportunities. Our commitment is further reinforced by our robust Trust Nurse Revalidation Programme – offering an e-portfolio and dedicated individual support.

Main duties of the job

The post holder will assess, plan, evaluate, and deliver all relevant aspects of patient care in a caring, compassionate, and sensitive manner. Work closely with the multi-disciplinary team and contribute to the clinical governance process. Act as a mentor/preceptor to junior staff, with specific responsibility for pre-registration students. The post holder will take delegated responsibility for the management of the clinical team and the maintenance of high standards of quality patient care on a shift basis.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.
