London, United Kingdom Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust Full time

East Wing 10 HDU is a state-of-the-art, new and improved 15 bedded unit and we are looking for you


We are looking for enthusiastic, experienced critical care nurses to join our friendly, welcoming team on this new venture to deliver high quality level 2 patient care. East Wing 10 HDU is an integral part of the large and dynamic Critical Care department at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), caring for both surgical and medical patients. These are patients who have either been stepped down from Intensive Care, or those requiring a step up in care from ward level and the Emergency Department. These patients often require support of one or more organs, such as with non-invasive ventilation, renal replacement therapy and advanced cardiovascular support, all of which require close monitoring and observation.


The upgraded facilities and enhanced infection control measures will improve our ability to cater for the complex needs of critically ill patients. GSTT is committed to investing in our hospital environments so we can continue to improve care and patient experience. This is one of several capital projects undertaken at GSTT that will improve facilities for patients.


We can offer you a personalised induction programme with supervision and support from our dedicated practice development team and one to one support from the senior nursing team. You will have the opportunity to develop shift leadership skills as well as have other opportunities to help you to advance your knowledge through ongoing professional development. Working for us would give you the opportunity to develop your career further by caring for a wide variety of complex critical care patients including:


A wide variety of medical patients including type 2 respiratory patients, diabetes management and renal patients with both acute and chronic needs for renal replacement therapy.
General Surgical patients including laparotomies, formation of stomas and oesophagostomies

Please note to be considered for this vacancy you must have completed a critical care course and either have your results or be waiting for your results to be processed. Should you be successful at interview and you are unable to provide the recruiting manger with confirmation of a successfully competed critical care course within 2 months of being interviewed then your offer will be withdrawn
