Job description

Join to apply for the Staff Nurse - Surgical Ward role at Homerton Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

Job Summary
We are looking for experienced Staff Nurses to join our experienced nursing team in delivering high quality, patient-centered care. We offer a wide range of post-graduation educational opportunities from our linked universities as well as an abundance of in-house training courses.

Thomas Audley Ward is a 27 bedded general surgical ward. As a Staff Nurse working on Thomas Audley Ward, you will obtain specialist nursing skills and knowledge in looking after acutely unwell general medical and respiratory patients, including those requiring Non-Invasive Ventilation (CPAP and BIPAP) and with Tracheostomies.

You need to have a passion for caring for the acutely unwell patient and thrive in an ever-changing and challenging nursing environment. You should demonstrate excellent communication and teamwork skills and be able to effectively prioritize your workload in a busy clinical environment.

Main Duties of the Job
The post holder will practice within a team of nursing staff and act as a 'named nurse' for a group of patients: assessing, planning, implementing, and evaluating their care needs. The postholder will not require direct supervision and will be expected to coordinate a ward/area providing direction to junior staff.
