North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the team on Elm A/HASU. We are seeking to recruit a highly enthusiastic and motivated team player who will work within the team providing high quality patient care.
The department specialises in acute stroke care and stroke/neuro rehabilitation and comprises a 10-bedded hyper acute stroke unit, with 33 acute stroke and neuro rehabilitation beds. The Stroke Department is a friendly and caring environment providing care to the most critically/acutely ill patients. Our current Stroke wards regularly receive excellent feedback from patients and their families about our caring staff. The aim of HASU is to provide holistic care for acute stroke patients, utilising a coordinated multidisciplinary approach, resulting in optimal patient outcomes.
Main Duties of the Job
The successful applicant will be committed to providing an excellent standard of nursing care to our diverse group of patients, some of whom have complex needs. This is an excellent opportunity to demonstrate and increase your knowledge, experience, and skills in stroke and rehabilitation.
Successful applicants must be able to provide high quality safe nursing care which is driven by patient experience and evidence-based practice. Previous experience of nursing stroke patients or patients with tracheostomy is desirable; however, it is not essential as training will be provided.
The role will involve working across the ward on both the hyper acute stroke unit and the rehabilitation side within the nursing team and alongside other professionals in our highly motivated multidisciplinary team.
