We are responsible for running a family of ten hospitals across seven separate sites, providing a wide range of services from comprehensive local general hospital care through to highly specialised regional and national services.

We are the main provider of hospital care to approximately 750,000 people in Manchester and Trafford and the single biggest provider of specialised services in the North West of England. We are also the lead provider for a significant number of specialised services including Breast Care, Vascular, Cardiac, Respiratory, Urology Cancer, Paediatrics, Women’s Services, Ophthalmology and Genomic Medicine.

Our vision is to improve the health and quality of life of our diverse population by building an organisation that:

• Excels in quality, safety, patient experience, research, innovation and teaching
• Attracts, develops and retains great people
• Is recognised internationally as a leading healthcare provider.

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), our Nursing 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. But more than that, our team’s commitment to work with empathy, consideration and dignity means that we’re among the best – and most compassionate – in our field.

Ward 9 is dedicated to the delivery of high quality care to our patients. As a Respiratory Cohort Ward, we have patients admitted to hospital for both medical and surgical treatments. Many specialties will provide care and treatment on this ward including general medicine, care of the elderly, respiratory medicine, diabetes and endocrinology, general surgery, HPB, cardiology, renal medicine, vascular surgery, gastroenterology and urology.

Experience of working in teams is essential. We are also seeking outstanding personal qualities such as self-motivation, communication skills and a professional aptitude to work. An ability to manage busy and challenging situations and working under pressure is also required.

Applications are welcome from all areas of healthcare. If you have transferable skills and experience but not the qualifications, we may be able to offer an apprenticeship role to support your development. Please note, this is subject to apprenticeship eligibility checks.
