Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trusts
Do you have a passion for transforming the lives of people who have experienced severe injury or illness? Here at the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) you will join an innovative, forward-thinking team with the collective objective of providing first-class rehabilitation to our patients.
Please apply to become a Band 5 Staff Nurse in Rehabilitation if you wish to become part of our journey to creating a better future for rehabilitation patients. This post is integral to providing high-quality, safe, compassionate, and efficient care in an innovative way at the NRC.
If you were successful, you would become a key part of shaping the service going forwards and paving the future of rehabilitation in the UK. The model is to deliver rehabilitation regionally, with the East Midlands being the first, with others to follow.
Why choose the NRC? You will be at the forefront of big change over the next few years. Your contribution will be vital but not only that, you will be supported to grow and learn through our many developmental programmes at the NRC as well as engaging in research and innovation.
Planning for the NRC is in its advanced stages, and the building will be ready in the summer of 2025. This role will be temporarily based at our current unit Linden Lodge at City Hospital until we move to the 70-bed NRC facility in summer 2025.
For more details of the centre please visit the NRC website www.nationalrehabilitationcentre.nhs.uk.
Main duties of the job
1. Assess the care needs of patients and develop a program of care which is evaluated and amended as appropriate.
2. Carry out relevant forms of direct and indirect patient care without direct supervision.
3. Work as part of the interdisciplinary team to assess, evaluate and deliver care to patients.
4. Utilise and integrate evidence into practice.
5. Make sound clinical decisions based on the assessment of patients, including that of safe nurse-led discharges.
About us
Due to open in spring 2025, the National Rehabilitation Centre (NRC) will be the first to set new ambitious standards of practice and outcomes for rehabilitation patients in England. The NRC programme is hosted by Nottingham University Hospitals Trust.
The NRC is a new purpose-built 70-bed facility which is being built on the Stanford Hall Rehabilitation Estate near Loughborough.
It is co-located with the Defence Medical Rehabilitation Centre with whom the NRC will work closely. Academic partners, led by the University of Nottingham and Loughborough University, will ensure research and innovation and training and education in rehabilitation will be embedded at the NRC and central to clinical practice.
The NRC is at a crucial stage of workforce planning to ensure that the centre is established robustly to achieve the excellence it strives for. The workforce is key to the successful delivery of improved patient outcomes, to achieve its national ambition and education and to embed research into clinical practice.
Although this post will initially be based at Linden Lodge to support the rehabilitation of the patients in this setting, the person employed will be expected to transition with the service to the NRC.
