Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust is recruiting full-time and part-time Nursing Assistants to join its gynaecology nursing team. The roles are permanent, at Band 3, paying £25,760 to £27,476 a year pro rata, and applications close on 3 November 2026. The trust covers three base sites — Wansbeck General Hospital, North Tyneside General Hospital and Hexham General Hospital — with emergency gynaecology at Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital in Cramlington and Ward 8 at North Tyneside.

What the job involves

Nursing Assistants will support qualified nurses in assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating nursing care, give basic nursing care, run their own healthcare-led clinics under the direct supervision of the Nurse in Charge, and support patients attending the outpatient setting, including patients who may be receiving bad news. All training in clinical areas will be given, and post holders will be required to work across all base sites as part of the wider gynaecology team.

Who can apply

Applicants need knowledge of care procedures and clinical observations, a competency-based programme or equivalent experience, and a Level 3 qualification in a healthcare-related subject or a portfolio of equivalent demonstrable experience, plus previous care experience in a health or social care setting. The advert reference is 319-8339891JA.
