Job summary

A4 is a 35 bedded surgical ward specialising in colorectal and general surgery. A4 is busy and care provision can be demanding but it also offers a wide scope of learning opportunities. Within the ward footprint, our team also looks after patients requiring enhanced care within our Intermediate Surgical Care Unit (ISCU), where RN/patient ratios are adjusted to take into account patient needs. We bridge the gap between standard ward care and level 2/3 care.

We are looking for caring, dedicated and compassionate people to join our team. It will be challenging but we will offer you the support you need. We'll work together to develop the skills and knowledge you need!

You will need to have a flexible approach to your working hours to enable us to deliver high quality round-the-clock patient care.

Main duties of the job

Are you forward thinking, dynamic, professional, and passionate about delivering high quality specialised surgical care? You will be working alongside the wider MDT including surgical consultants, nurse practitioners and critical care outreach.

We are looking for Band 5 Nurses who are committed to providing high quality care, ensuring we perform to a high standard and achieve the best outcome for our patients. Attention to detail is essential.

We will offer you a comprehensive training program to further develop your nursing and surgical skill. You will also enrol into our preceptorship program.

Exciting times ahead...
