We are looking for dynamic, forward-thinking individuals to join our endoscopy team at the state-of-the-art Endoscopy Unit in the East Midlands Planned Care Centre (EEMPCC) at Leicester General Hospital. This is a purpose-built endoscopy unit, with 6 procedure rooms, 20 individual pods for patients, and training facilities.
This is your chance to help shape the future of endoscopy within UHL. Look at new innovative ways of working, evolve a centre of excellence for both endoscopy and training, achieve JAG accreditation, network through the East Midlands Endoscopy Group, and take part in research and development.
As well as patients, staff wellbeing is at the centre of everything we do, and you will be supported by the senior management team and the endoscopy clinical educators in your role.
We offer plenty of opportunities for progression to senior roles, specialist nurse roles, and nurse endoscopist. We can also offer rotational posts between the EEMPCC and our acute endoscopy department at Leicester Royal Infirmary, with opportunities to spend time at the community endoscopy units and the gastro wards if you so desire.
This is a 7-day service covering the hours of 7.30 am until 6.30 pm with a rota for staff to stay late if needed and an on-call night service covering all 3 UHL units.
If you feel this job is right for you, do not hesitate to apply or contact Abigail Setterfield at 07950841133 or Lesley Newton at 07950853381 for more info.
