Our values guide everything we do. They are:

* Compassion: Caring for patients and their loved ones in ways we would want for our friends and family.
* Respect: Behaving and using language that demonstrates respect and courtesy to others. Zero tolerance to bullying, inequality, prejudice and discrimination.

This role is for a band 5 staff nurse to come and join our dynamic JAG accredited endoscopy team. You will be playing a pivotal role in delivering high quality care to all our patients in endoscopy. You will work closely with all members of the multidisciplinary team, therefore require excellent communication skills.

You will provide supervision and support for junior members of staff, acting in a professional manner at all times. You will also be required to teach students in practice, acting as a supervisor/assessor.
You will be supported to achieve/maintain core competencies for endoscopy whilst training in the procedure rooms in line with JAG accreditation standards. You will be part of a very supportive, progressive team who will help you to achieve your full potential and flourish in your career.
We operate a 7 day service which includes weekend and bank holiday working.
