The Acute Medical Unit are looking to recruit band 6 nurses. We are looking for existing band 6s or band 5s that are ready to be developed into this role.
We are a dynamic well led 73 bedded unit, 10 of those beds allocated to patients requiring higher observation beds (HOBS).
We admit and assess patients from the Emergency Department or direct from GP's and clinics.
We require enthusiastic individuals with a can do attitude that have the ability to work within our friendly units and teams. You must be as passionate as we are in getting things right first time every time. Commitment to undertake ongoing in-service training and development is essential.
Candidates must have the initiative to adapt to the changing demands of the service and be able to contribute to the development of service provision. They will need to be experienced in mentoring student nurses, holding a relevant mentorship and/or teaching qualification and be supportive of junior members of the team. Additionally, candidates should have relevant experience at Band 5 enabling them to be confident to lead the team in a shift co-ordinator role. Ability to cover the department and provide reasonable flexibility in terms of hours worked, including varying shift patterns across days and nights will be expected.
You should be motivated, keen to learn and ready to embrace change. Our commitment to you is to provide the environment for this to happen and ensure that you are part of our ongoing development programmes. If you are motivated to deliver high standards of care and have the personal qualities and characteristics as outlined in the personal specification then this could be the post for you.
At East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust our vision is to be widely recognised for providing safe, personal and effective care. We currently provide high quality services and treat over 600,000 people across East Lancashire and the surrounding area. We employ over 8,000 staff, many of whom have won awards for their work.
