Summary
Are you a compassionate and motivated Registered Nurse looking to make a real difference in patient care?
We are seeking a dedicated nurse to join our dynamic orthopaedic and trauma department at Salford Royal Hospital, part of The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA), where you will play a vital role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care within a supportive and collaborative environment.
Due to the current skill mix within the department, it is essential that candidates have proven post-registration experience, preferably within a surgical, orthopaedic and/or trauma environment.
Our vision is to deliver outstanding, high-quality care while shaping and developing a highly motivated workforce.
We are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate nurse who shares our values and commitment to excellence to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a service with vision, drive and ambition, where your skills, ideas and professional development will be truly valued.
In this role, you will use your clinical expertise to assess, plan, deliver and evaluate care for a designated group of patients, while contributing to the overall care and well being of all patients on the ward/unit. You will support the day-to-day organisation of the ward, maintain effective communication across the multidisciplinary team, and provide guidance and encouragement to junior colleagues.
This is an excellent opportunity for a nurse who is passionate about professional development and leadership, as you will also contribute to the supervision, teaching and assessment of learners and unregistered staff, acting as a role model and named supervisor.
If you are committed to delivering outstanding care, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are eager to support and develop others, we would love to hear from you.
The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA) provides hospital and integrated health and social care services to over one million people living across Greater Manchester. Our 20,000 colleagues care for people in hospital and in the community, working across Bury, Rochdale, Oldham and Salford, to save and improve lives.
As a large NHS trust we are committed to enhancing the health of our local population by delivering consistently high standards of care and working closely with local authorities and key partners. We believe in our power and potential to make a difference and we’re always looking for people who demonstrate our three core values - care, appreciate and inspire – to join our team.
In return, we can offer you a job role with purpose and flexibility. The size and scale of the NCA means we can provide more challenge and opportunities so your career can always be moving in the right direction. By joining us you can also access a competitive benefits package, including, a fantastic annual leave allowance, flexible working opportunities and protected hours for health and wellbeing activities, helping you to achieve more personal downtime and a better work-life balance.
This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse in the UK. Please note an NMC PRN Pin is not a full NMC Pin and would not fulfil the essential criteria for this role.
The NCA can no longer accept applications from International Nurses and Midwives who are yet to complete all competencies needed to receive a full NMC PIN to practice in the UK as we have paused our OSCE programme indefinitely.
