Registered Nurse - Medical Elective Services
York and Scarborough Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust
The Medical Elective Services (MES) treat approximately 600 patients a month. We provide treatments and diagnostic tests for all specialities within York Hospital and the service we provide is nurse-led. MES is an outpatient service open Monday to Friday, 0700-1900.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, motivated registered nurse to join our friendly and dynamic team. We are looking for caring individuals who have a flexible approach to working and have experience of at least 12 months band 5 nursing within the acute setting.
The successful applicants must possess excellent communication skills and enjoy working as part of a team as well as autonomously. We require a staff nurse who has drive and passion for this area of work and is committed to the delivery and development of nurse-led services. Skills such as venepuncture, cannulation, and intravenous drug administration are desired. With the exciting development of an MES clinic at Selby, driving is an essential part of the role as cross-site cover is required.
Please note you must hold an active UK NMC Pin and must include this in your application - all other registration types including PRN pins will not be considered.
