Qualified Nurse – Emergency Department
Band 5
Job overview
The Emergency Department at Salford Care Organisation, part of Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust, has an exciting opportunity for experienced registered nurses to join our expanding team.
This is great opportunity for career development as we await the opening of the Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital. This stunning facility allows us to deliver excellent care to our patients and give us every opportunity to be the best in the North-West.
The much-anticipated Greater Manchester Major Trauma Hospital will open a new chapter in trauma services for the Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust. It will bring the latest technologies and interventions to support the care and treatment of people who have experienced a major trauma, for example, a serious fall or road traffic collision.
This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse and have proven post-registration experience of working in an area of high patient turnover and dealing with the associated pressures.
Main duties of the job
Colleagues will work in a facility whose importance stretches far beyond the boundaries of Salford. We are part of the Greater Manchester Trauma network associated with our status as the Neurosciences Centre for Greater Manchester.
The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust offers excellent support, detailed in-house and external training and career development opportunities.
You will be RN (Adult)/RGN qualified with proven post registration experience and have a commitment in progressing within the specialty as demonstrated in your professional portfolio.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities
This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as an 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 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.
