Staff Nurse Band 5 - Outpatients St Helier
Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust
As an Outpatient Staff nurse, you will be responsible and accountable for the provision of high-quality care to all patients who attend the department. This will encompass flexible working within the outpatient department, including across sites where required.
The post holder will be responsible for setting a high standard of clinical practice, managing operational issues on a daily basis, and working collaboratively with all members of the wider patient services and clinical team.
Main Duties of the Job
An opportunity has arisen for a part-time registered nurse position at St Helier Outpatients Department. St Helier OPD is a large, dynamic adult outpatient unit. This role also incorporates cross-site working to support outpatient services at Epsom Hospital if required. We cover a wide variety of clinics including fracture clinics, dermatology minor ops, rheumatology, ENT, and many more specialty clinics.
Applicants must have evidence of updated personal development, excellent interpersonal skills, be flexible, have the ability to work under pressure, and a strong desire to work in an outpatient setting. Previous outpatient experience would be desirable. Outpatient services positively support the learning and development of their staff. A teaching or preceptorship qualification would be beneficial. Please note that these hours don't form set shift patterns and will be worked flexibly according to the needs of the service and may include some evening and weekend work. Under exceptional circumstances, there may be an occasion where you will work in a ward area.
Please include in your supporting statement why Outpatients would be your preferred place of work.
