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.

Job summary

Following an increase in our establishment, we are looking for a motivated, enthusiastic person to join our friendly Newborn Hearing Screening team in Manchester.

As the largest hearing screening programme in the North West we play a vital role in the early detection of permanent significant childhood hearing impairments, completing approximately 16,500 newborn hearing screens a year.

The role will suit an individual who would like to develop their career in a healthcare position. If you have previous experience of working with the public, especially parents and babies, and are computer confident then this could be the job for you.

The post is 30 hours per week (4 x 7.5 hour shifts) and includes regular weekend and bank holiday working at an enhanced pay rate. The role will be based primarily at Wythenshawe Maternity Hospital, but you may occasionally be asked to work at one of the other sites, or to support outpatient clinics. A full driving license and access to a car is therefore essential.

We provide a comprehensive training programme including service specific training prior to completing an external competency assessment. You will be required to undertake a Level 3 Diploma for Health Screeners to become a qualified Newborn Hearing Screener. The Diploma involves a range of written, oral, and practical assessments and must be completed within 12 months of enrolment.

Main duties of the job

Newborn hearing screening is performed to identify permanent, significant hearing impairment in newborn babies. Early identification can reduce the impact on the development of language, speech and communication skills.

As a newborn hearing screener, you will:

Be committed to delivering a high quality of care to meet the National Public Health England (PHE) quality assurance standards, local policies and procedures, to ensure the service reaches key performance indicator deadlines.

Identify all newborn babies requiring screening and ensure the Newborn Hearing Screen is offered.

Communicate effectively with parents/carers, providing clear and accurate information regarding the hearing screening programme.

Obtain informed consent as per national and local protocols.

Promote a professional and caring environment endorsing a 'family friendly' approach to care.

Carry out hearing screening within the maternity units (including Special Care and Neonatal Intensive Care Units) and outpatient clinics, using specialised equipment, as per national and local protocols and procedures.

Accurately process data on the Smart4Hearing screening database including transfer of in area and out of area records.

Use EMIS to manage patient activity in outpatient clinics.

Make referrals to the audiology departments as per local procedure.

Take cCMV swabs for babies who fail their newborn hearing screen.
