Job overview

We are Manchester Local Care Organisation - an exciting, new public sector organisation that is bringing together NHS community health
services and social care services in the city. We’re driven by the aim of improving the health of local people in Manchester by working across
organisational boundaries.

Our community teams work as one – delivering and designing services in partnership with local people. We believe that our pioneering approach will make a massive difference to the health of people in our city and we are looking for you to join our team and help us do this.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a dedicated and  motivated Band 5  Nurse to join our Treatment Rooms service. 

The Treatment Rooms Service is available to all non-housebound north Manchester adult residents who have a nursing need . This includes wound care (with often quite complex wounds and patients); non-complex lymphoedema management; catheter management; stoma management; administration of injections and management of wounds post-surgery. 

This is an exciting time to be part of our newly integrated services supporting the service lead and matron in taking the services forward to ensure that care is delivered to the highest of standards. We work closely alongside other community services such as the Lymphoedema, District Nursing and podiatry services and you will need to develop positive working relationships with those services.  

As well as bringing your clinical expertise, you will be a champion of the integrated community care approach, a strong team player and an excellent communicator. You will be adaptable, committed, well organised and able to work well under pressure. You must be able to travel around various community locations delivering care.

If you are motivated, enthusiastic and have proven experience of working as an autonomous practitioner we would love to welcome you to our friendly, hard-working and dedicated team. 

Working for our organisation

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & 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 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals.

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.
