Staff Nurse

Our committed team of highly skilled Staff Nurses on our in-patient wards provide high level, patient focused care supporting people with complex, predominantly physical long term conditions, and people following an episode of acute care who require some further rehabilitation prior to returning home. They work closely with Allied Health Professionals and medical teams leading the planning of complex discharges and on-going community care. They develop skills, knowledge and experience in a wide range of physical conditions and multiple pathologies.

They support Student Nurses and Trainee Nurse Associates to develop our future workforce and have an excellent reputation for their teaching and support.

We are pleased to have the opportunity to recruit to a 30 hour a week post to cover maternity leave on a fixed term contract of 1 year on the in-patient wards at Lings Bar Hospital, Gamston, Nottingham, NG2 6PR.

We are looking for nurses who have a passion and commitment to caring for older people - people who have a wide range of complex conditions, supporting them to return home to continue their rehabilitation journey. We want nurses who put the 6Cs into practice on a daily basis and have a supportive and considerate nature, to work within a cohesive inter-professional ward team.

We offer the chance to develop your professional decision making and complex care management skills as we are a predominantly nurse and therapy led unit.

As one of our team you would develop skills in caring for a wide range of long term conditions preparing you for a career path in many different areas of nursing.

We are committed to your personal professional development and offer a range of preceptorship development courses for newly qualified nurses and further development opportunities in a range of areas for more experienced staff nurses.

We encourage you to bring your existing skills and experiences to enrich our clinical area and work with us to create a robust, caring and compassionate hospital environment for our patients, who deserve the best.
