An exciting opportunity to be an integral part of the Macmillan Colorectal and Stoma nursing team has opened.
This is a full-time (37.5 hours) substantive post. The team is looking for a dedicated, enthusiastic, and highly motivated Band 5 Nurse to act as a support to patients who have had a stoma formed. The successful candidate will also take the lead in delivering an ongoing stoma teaching programme for the wider Trust and be involved with supporting colorectal cancer patients.
You must be a first-level registered nurse with post-registration experience of surgical colorectal care and have relevant continuous professional development.
The successful candidate will use their communication, organizational skills, knowledge, experience, time management, and IT skills to help the team offer a high-quality specialist service, leading to better outcomes for our patients.
The post holder will have the ability to work within the established colorectal team, prioritizing their own workload whilst being supported by the CNS nursing team. The post holder will work across the Sandwell and City sites, moving into MMUH in the autumn, caring for patients in the acute and outpatient setting.
The successful post holder will work within the multi-disciplinary team, gaining skills in all aspects of colorectal cancer and stoma care. The successful candidate will be provided with the necessary training and mentorship.
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organization with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban center that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first-class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three newly emerging strategic objectives:
1. Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
2. Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
3. Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
