We are looking for versatile, enthusiastic, and hardworking Band 5 staff nurses with a great team spirit to join our nursing team in the outpatients' department on the Lincoln site.
The department manages several different clinics from dermatology, ENT, urology investigations suite, and ophthalmology but there will be opportunities to work within the wider outpatient team, which covers clinics 1-4 (medical), 7 (haematology), medical day unit, rheumatology, breast, and 11 (orthopaedics).
Whilst the clinics currently run Monday to Friday, there is increased weekend activity and the successful candidate must be able to work across a 7-day working week.
The post holder will be responsible for the delivery of a consistently high standard of nursing care that is centred on the patient's needs and in line with the Trust's values and standards.
Responsibilities include:
1. Display a visible clinical presence, supporting the outpatient department team to achieve a high standard of evidence-based care, procedures, and treatment specific to the clinical need, appropriate to the role and scope of practice, including the use of medical devices.
2. Demonstrate a sound knowledge of the principles of infection and prevention control, adhering to high standards when performing aseptic non-touch technique and complying with the Trust's infection and prevention control policies at all times.
3. Ensure compliance with all local policies and guidelines, e.g. (but not limited to) consent, chaperone, WHO checklist, COSHH, and information governance.
4. Work closely with the multi-disciplinary team ensuring excellent and effective communication is maintained.
