In the raid officers seized a Lenovo computer, an and a Galaxy mobile phone, which collectively stored a catalogue of indecent images and videos of young children.
Wadeson initially told police he had 'no idea' the images were on his devices, but later confessed to knowing they were on his phone but denied viewing them.
Wadeson had previously helped victims of the bombing at Manchester Arena in 2017 while on placement at Royal Bolton Hospital.

The nurse confessed he knew there were indecent images on the phone, but said 'he couldn't remember viewing them'.
The Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) on Tuesday published details detailing how they decided to remove Wadeson from the care register last week.
They said: 'Wadeson's actions in making, possessing and distributing indecent images of children demonstrates a fundamental breach of trust and clearly damages the reputation of, and undermines trust and confidence in the nursing profession.
'Integrity should be considered to be the bedrock of any nurse's career and the criminal conviction undermines the good reputation of the profession.
'Wadeson has not made any attempt to remediate and there remains a high risk of repetition.
'The panel concluded that nothing short of a striking-off order would be sufficient in this case.'

Ben Berkson, defending, told Judge Andrew Menary: 'This course of conduct is described as shocking and out of character by those closest to him and by the defendant himself.
He claimed that Wadeson struggled with his mental health when he was younger and in the past was diagnosed with psychosis.
The lawyer added: 'A particularly dark point as a child was the death of his foster brother, which has had a profound impact on this defendant.
'As a gay man he experienced bullying at school generally and had difficulty with his sexuality growing up, due to fear of homophobic abuse.
'Notwithstanding those difficulties, he qualified as a nurse in 2017 and began working in the A&E department at Aintree hospital.
'But immediately prior to that he was part of a nursing training placement at Bolton hospital.
As part of that he actually helped the victims of the Manchester bombing.'
Wadeson was supported by his husband, who provided a character reference.
