Job overview

Are you passionate, enthusiastic and highly motivated about delivering high quality patient care? Then come and join us and help fulfil our vision of delivering first class care driven by our trust values.

We have a variety of exciting opportunities both full and part time for Registered Nurses within the Acute Respiratory Unit at Fairfield General Hospital.

The Acute Respiratory Unit is a fast paced unit caring for 40 patients under Respiratory, General Medical and ENT Teams. 

 Previous experience would be an advantage; however, we would also like to hear from  recently qualified nurses who will be supported through their preceptorship, ensuring they excel in their chosen pathway. Extensive training in respiratory care will be provided by our Practice Based Educators including Non Invasive Ventilation and Tracheostomy Care. 

 

Main duties of the job

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.
