Staff Nurse - Integrated Acute Assessment Unit & A1 Short stay ward
An exciting opportunity has arisen for the position of Staff Nurse in our dynamic Integrated Acute Assessment Unit (IAAU) and also A1 Short stay ward.
Our medical wards across our three hospital sites (Scunthorpe, Grimsby and Goole) span a wide range of specialities – caring for patients in over 470 beds. Medical nursing offers something for everyone. Whether your passion is in cardiology, oncology, respiratory, or our acute assessment areas, we are confident you will thrive in our supportive and forward-thinking teams. Naturally, acute medicine is a fast-paced environment with a high turnover of patients in our wards with most being admitted as acute emergencies, meaning the nursing interventions you deliver will truly make the difference to our patients and their loved ones.
IAAU admits and treats patients from a variety of specialties including Medical, Surgical, Orthopaedic, ENT and Gynaecology. This is a 23 bedded trolley area that takes patients from the ED and GP that require assessment from a specialty.
A1 is a Short stay ward that consists of an 18 bedded unit which incorporates 14 side rooms. The main specialty for this area is medicine.
IAAU and A1 can be fast-paced, however both areas are well-led and organised, making it a great place to learn. Our established nurses are experienced mentors who are supportive, friendly and possess a wide range of transferable extended skills. Also, as the Assessment Unit works hand in hand with the Same Day Emergency Care you will also have the chance to rotate across to them. We work cohesively and there is no “I” in OUR team – we work alongside each other and together. Therefore we encourage both newly qualified and experienced nurses in applying to join our team.
Successful candidates will be well-supported, and a bespoke training package will be tailored to suit individual learning needs. You will acquire a broad range of extended skills to complement your passion for nursing including but not limited to venepuncture, cannulation, catheterisation, NG placement and management, complex wound care and much more. We want to invest in YOU. In return, IAAU/A1 asks that you are positive, enthusiastic and passionate in delivering the 6C’s of nursing.
