Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check

As part of our commitment to safeguarding patients and staff, many roles at Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT) require a Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check. This is a standard process across the NHS and helps us ensure a safe environment for everyone.

What is a DBS Check?

A DBS check is a background check that reveals any criminal convictions, cautions, reprimands, or warnings. The level of check required depends on the role:

Standard DBS: Checks for spent and unspent convictions, cautions, reprimands, and final warnings.

Enhanced DBS: Includes the above, plus any additional information held by local police thats considered relevant to the role.

Enhanced with Barred Lists: Includes all of the above, plus checks against the childrens and/or adults barred lists.

Who Needs a DBS Check

Most roles involving direct patient contact, working with children or vulnerable adults, or access to sensitive information will require a DBS check. The job advert and recruitment team will let you know if this applies to your role.

The Costs for a DBS

At Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT), roles that require a DBS check are subject to a cost recovery policy. This means that the cost of submitting and processing a DBS application if you are successful and join us, will be deducted from your salary within the first three months of employment. If, however, you withdraw from a conditional offer after the DBS process has begun, you will still be liable for the cost incurred.

For more information about the cost of the various types of DBS, please visit: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/dbs-fees-are-changing-in-december

DBS Update Service

Candidates are also expected to register with the DBS Update Service which must be completed within 30 days of the certificate being issued. This helps streamline future employment checks and supports safer recruitment practices. For more information, please visit the DBS Update Service.

More detail about the role

The Care Transfer Hub North is looking for a B4 Assistant Practitioner / Nursing Associate to join our team on a fixed term basis, to cover maternity leave.

We are employed by Community but based on the acute hospital site at NDDH. Our remit is to assess and procure onward care for patients being discharged from hospital on discharge pathways 2 and 3; however, on occasions we may also support with pathway 1.

You will work independently but under the supervision of the clinical team to complete assessments for appropriate patient groups, in order to evidence eligibility for on-going care and to determine the type of on-going care they require.

The assessment you complete will then be used to source the care that the person requires and you will work closely with other relevant acute and community Health and Social Care teams to ensure the person is then discharged safely and in a timely way.

Whilst the role can be challenging at times, you will be well supported by a friendly team of Health and Social Care professionals. You will have the opportunity to gain valuable transferrable skills, in this unique team which works across acute, community and the private provider settings.

If youd like further information, please do get in touch to talk the role through with us. We are happy to provide any training required and induction will be tailored to the successful individuals specific needs.

Working Pattern: 0800-1800, 4 days per week
