Are you an empathetic and compassionate Registered Nurse looking to work in an outstanding rated Trust? Tarrant Ward, based at Blandford Community Hospital, is looking for either an experienced or newly qualified Staff Nurse to join our supportive team.
You will be working with a multi-disciplinary care team in a 25 bedded ward to ensure that the patient’s rehabilitation journey is individualised, and goals are achieved by the patients to reach their optimum level to return to their own home or suitable placement sourced whilst embodying the Trust’s values. We also provide end of life care to patients approaching their last days and weeks of life. Our Elderly Rehabilitation and End of Life Care unit achieved a nationally recognised accreditation in the Gold Standard Framework award for end-of-life care.
We offer dedicated career pathways and great opportunities for continuing professional development with a comprehensive and structured induction programme and training. An excellent preceptorship programme for newly qualified nurses and the chance to further your career in a nurse-led environment.
The Staff Nurse post is a part-time role, with flexibility to accept a minimum of 22.5 hours. The successful candidate would be required to work a mixture of Days and Night shifts:
1. Long Day - 07:30 – 20:30 (Early & Late options can be discussed)
2. Nights – 20.00 – 08:00
Weekend and public holidays are paid at enhanced rates!
We are committed to providing excellent standards of care for our patients, and we know that to enable us to do this, the continuous professional development of staff in a supportive environment has to be a top priority for us.
You will benefit from working with a very experienced team which benefits from the support of a dedicated medical team. You will need enthusiasm and a commitment to provide the highest standards of care to patients, relatives, and carers, along with the ability to provide professional clinical leadership. An interest in working with older people and good communication and organisational skills are essential.
Employment in this post requires an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, which the Trust will cover the cost of. Applicants who subscribe to the DBS update service can present a valid DBS certificate instead of requiring a new check.
