The teams work as together and one and aim to improve the health of local people in Trafford by working across organisational boundaries. Our community healthcare teams in adults/children's services are employed by Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust and deployed to us, linking closely with our colleagues in Manchester Local Care Organisation.
We are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic individual to work within our Healthy Schools Team in Trafford, supporting the delivery of a range of health services and screenings to an identified school-age population, including their families and carers.

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.
