Summary
A Vacancy at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust.
Are you motivated, enthusiastic and possess excellent communication and organisational skills? Do you want to develop as a senior nurse whilst remaining clinically focused?
The Acute Medical Unit (AMU) and Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) at Wythenshawe is looking for highly motivated, innovative and experienced nurses to join our dynamic team.
Applicants should be positive and adaptable to a changing environment that prides itself on quality and efficiency. You will be given the opportunity to learn and develop new leadership and management skills and act as a role model for best practice to junior staff. This role will also allow for further development opportunities within our team.
A calm, diplomatic and caring approach is necessary and you must have the ability to deal with the varied and challenging demands of the unit. You must have the ability to multi-task and prioritise under pressure, work within a large multi-disciplinary team and ensure the 6C's and South Manchester Way is incorporated in to practice.
AMU is a 56 bedded unit divided into two areas, Acute Medical and Short Stay Medical.
SDEC is GP and medical receiving unit situated next to the Emergency Department. Staff are afforded the opportunity to rotate between both units.
MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of over £3bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.
Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 30,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.
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.
At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.
To find out more about the key responsibilities and the specific skills and experience you’ll need, take a look at the Job Description & Person Specification attachments under the ‘Supporting Documents’ heading. So that you’re even more equipped to make an informed decision to apply to us, you’ll need to take time to read the ‘Candidate Essentials Guide’ that sits with the Job Description and Person Specification. This document provides you with details about the Trust, our benefits and outlines how ‘we care for you as you care for others’.
