The Medical Receiving Unit acts as the main point of referral, assessment, and admission of medical patients. Patients are accepted via referrals from the Emergency Department, Acute GP Service, and primary care to facilitate appropriate medical pathways for our patients.
Under the direction of the Nurse-in-Charge, you will coordinate and deliver effective quality nursing care by assessing and maintaining the clinical needs and care for a group of patients.
You will work as part of a dynamic multidisciplinary team to manage the care of acute medical patients efficiently.
Following a period of induction, you will take responsibility for the supervision of junior team members.
Are you a compassionate, driven nurse looking for a new challenge? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where every day brings something new? If so, we want you to join our team on Tamar - Medical Receiving Unit!
We are looking for an enthusiastic, motivated staff nurse who will be a positive role model and share our vision of providing high-quality patient-centred care. You will be fully supported by a strong management team to support and advocate for your patients.
You must have good post-registration demonstrable experience preferably within acute medicine, although not essential, and demonstrable experience in mentoring and developing clinical expertise.
This staff nurse must be forward-thinking and positive in their approach to change. There will also be exciting opportunities to work across the Acute Medical Unit (Tavy, Thrushel, SDEC) to broaden your knowledge and experience. If you're looking for an opportunity where you can gain diverse experience of acute medical problems, then this could be the role for you!
You must be compassionate, kind, caring, and committed to becoming an Acute Medical Nurse. Ongoing training opportunities will be provided by our fantastic Clinical Educators to support you in delivering high-quality patient care.
We are a people business – where every member of staff matters and can make a difference. Patients are at the heart of everything we do. Joining University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust means becoming part of a team of dedicated staff, who are committed to leading the way through innovation, clinical excellence, and great customer care.
We recognise that work-life balance is important for our colleagues, and so we invite requests from applicants around less than full-time/flexible working for our advertised roles. Please contact the recruiting manager to discuss this prior to your application submission. We commit to giving this full consideration in each case. We encourage people from diverse backgrounds to apply for our roles, as diversity strengthens our teams.
