Maternity leave cover - 12 months only
Our JAG accredited endoscopy service, based at Royal Lancaster Infirmary, is looking to recruit Band 5 nurses to join our established, motivated and friendly team. Our Endoscopy services are predominately nurse led, from admission through to discharge. It is therefore essential that our nursing team are able to demonstrate a high degree of autonomy.
Our nurses are trained to assist Surgeons, Gastroenterologists, Respiratory Consultants, and Nurse Endoscopists in a range of specialised and technical procedures. This is supported by a dedicated competency framework, complemented by online learning and guidance from our practice educator team.
Endoscopy is a great environment to learn new skills and further your career; many of our nurses stay within Gastroenterology and take up specialist roles in Inflammatory Bowel Disease, as Nurse Endoscopists and Bowel Cancer Screening Nurses.
The successful applicants will possess excellent communication and documentation skills, should be able to work well within a team, and demonstrate a keen interest in Endoscopy. They will work in close partnership with colleagues to ensure that the Unit is compliant with JAG requirements. They will be actively involved in audit and governance to maintain standards.
We welcome applications from newly qualified nurses and provide a structured induction and preceptorship programme. #J-18808-Ljbffr
