Job description

Job responsibilities

About the role and our team

Join our team as a Registered Nurse on the Female Surgical Ward at Noble’s Hospital on the Isle of Man!

You will be part of our fast-paced, friendly and dynamic team within Surgery, Theatres, Critical Care and Anaesthetics, where we are committed to delivering high standards of quality care to our patients.

Each day in this role will be different as we receive a variety of surgical and medical patient admissions on the ward. Some of your daily responsibilities could include:

• Participating in the pre-operative assessment of patients requiring planned surgical interventions
• Contributing to the effective discharge planning of patients, coordinating with other services such as Social Services, District Nurses and Health Visitors
• Educating and supporting junior Nurses and Health Care Assistants
• Organising your own workload, ensuring that the interests of patients are paramount

You will also have the opportunity to bring new ideas forward, participate in practice development and get involved in the positive learning culture facilitated throughout our Care Group.

This is an engaging and rewarding role where you can use your excellent communication skills, knowledge and experience to succeed. If this sounds like something you’d like to be part of, then we’d love to hear from you!

What can this role offer me?

• By joining us you’ll be stepping away from NHS pressures and demands, as the Island’s healthcare system is similar but separate to the UK NHS
• Developing our team to be the best they can be is important to us and we actively support your own personal career goals, aspirations and development
• Training enabling you to undertake extended practices such as Intravenous Drug Administration, Venepuncture/Cannulation, Bladder Scanning, ECG recordings and Patient Group Directions
• We offer competitive salaries which tend to be higher than UK salaries with opportunities for annual pay increases for many roles. We offer shift allowances of:
  • Time + 30% for work after 8pm
  • Time + 60% for work on Sundays and Bank Holidays
• You will enjoy generous annual leave entitlement of 27 days and 10 public holidays
• For candidates not on the Isle of Man we will reimburse your interview expenses and give you a relocation package of up to £7,000 to get you, your things and your family to the island. You will also be eligible for housing assistance to help contribute towards your mortgage or rent on the island
• For those relocating or returning to the island you will receive a refund on your national insurance contributions made in your first year, this could be up to £4,400!
• Great on site facilities and free car parking

About the Island and relocating

Here you can enjoy a fantastic quality of life, and an excellent work-life balance! There are plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities; so if you like walking, mountain biking, sailing or kayaking, you’ll have lots of places to explore!

There are also lots of great cafes, bars and restaurants, and you can enjoy the Island’s real sense of community. The island is well connected to the UK, and you’ll also benefit from low income tax rates (20% maximum rate).

If you are relocating or returning to the Island, you can also benefit from the National Insurance Holiday Scheme, which allows you to apply for a refund on your NI contributions for your 1st year of living here. To see how this scheme could benefit you, and to find out more about relocating to the Isle of Man, visit www.locate.im.

A relocation package of up to £7,000 based on receipts is available for this role. Housing Assistance is also available where the Department will pay the difference between your current mortgage/rent bill, and that of your new accommodation on the Isle of Man, up to a maximum of £250 per month. This role also qualifies for a recruitment incentive of £3,000, payable in the 1st, 13th, and 25th months of employment.
