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.

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.

Job summary

We are looking for a Care Navigator to join the team at Debenham Group Practice. This is a patient-facing role at the heart of how the practice runs day to day, and we are looking for someone who will bring a calm, friendly and organised approach to supporting our patients and colleagues.

Debenham Group Practice is part of Suffolk Primary Care, which gives us access to a wider range of shared expertise and organisational support, while allowing us to remain a well-regarded local practice with a strong community identity.

About us

We care for 10,000 patients across our main site in Debenham, with branch surgeries at Otley and Grundisburgh.

• A stable team, with a good mix of experience
• A strong team ethos, with people supporting each other day to day
• Use of SystmOne and askmyGP to support patient access and workflow
• Access to a broader multi-professional team through Suffolk Primary Care

We are looking for someone who:

• Is calm, warm and professional when dealing with patients and colleagues
• Listens carefully and records information accurately
• Is organised, reliable and takes their responsibilities seriously
• Works well as part of a team and is willing to support colleagues
• Has good IT skills and picks up new systems with confidence
• Has previous experience in a customer-facing or administrative role

Experience in a healthcare or NHS setting is helpful but not essential we are happy to support the right person to develop in the role.

Main duties of the job

Care Navigators are often the first voice or face a patient encounters. Whether patients contact us by phone, walk through the door, or submit a request online, you will help make sure they get the right information and reach the right place.

We use askmyGP as our primary workflow tool for clinical requests. Rather than triaging patients themselves, Care Navigators help ensure that requests are accurately recorded so that the duty GP can review and act on them promptly. You will also take turns supporting the duty GP as part of the wider Care Navigation team, and you will help signpost patients to other local services where that is the most appropriate response.

The role also covers the full range of day-to-day practice administration from reception duties and managing records, to supporting clinical and dispensary colleagues and keeping the practice running smoothly.
