Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Endoscopy Unit at Trafford General Hospital. We are recruiting staff to increase our service to open a fourth procedure room improving patient access. We are a state of the art JAG accredited Endoscopy Unit and one of the hosts of the North West Training Academy. You will be supported by our dedicated Clinical Educator to become competent in assisting with a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopy procedures. If you are enthusiastic, motivated and keen to learn then this is a perfect opportunity to extend your skills and join our friendly team.
Main duties of the job
Join us and you’ll have the opportunity to work the Trusts diagnostic center of excellence providing the BCSP service. Along with our counterpart units at ORC, Wythenshawe and North Manchester we are one of the largest Endoscopy Departments in the North West. What’s more, we facilitate the latest and most current and complex procedures in our field, partnering with our counterparts to provide the Endoscopy Academy for both nurses and doctors, coupled with a satellite teaching facility.
To succeed, you’ll need to be committed to delivering high quality, patient focused care with pride and respect, have excellent interpersonal skills and be able to provide evidence of personal and professional development. With recent acute NHS experience as a must, we’ll train you in our endoscopy services and along the way, you’ll be supported by our in-house endoscopy educator with access to some of most sought after bespoke courses to progress your knowledge and experience in this field.
