The main duties of the job will be to work as part of a team within the Monitoring Hub at the CDC MetroCentre with direct patient care.

You will undertake a range of point of care tests independently for patients within the region including blood pressure monitoring, ECG recording, phlebotomy and patient observations.

You will be responsible for correctly undertaking, recording and documenting the tests and results.

You will also be required to chaperone patients undergoing scans such as sleep studies and Echocardiograms and will be need to ensure the patient is safe and well during their visit at the CDC.

You will be responsible for maintaining a safe and clean clinical environment that meets the needs of the patients undergoing scans and tests.

Based in the North East of England we provide a range of hospital and community health services from our leading facilities, including the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Blaydon urgent care centre and Bensham Hospital, and the new CDC at the MetroCentre all within Gateshead.

Established in 2005, we were one of the first foundation trusts in the country and since then have consistently achieved the highest levels of care for patients.

We now employ around 4,800 staff and currently provide 444 hospital beds across the Gateshead region.

Our values should be the ‘golden thread’ which runs through everything we do - they are the core of who we are. Our five values can easily be remembered by the simple acronym ICORE; Innovation, Care, Openness, Respect, Engagement.

We have a number of staff networks including the BAME network, D-Ability network, LGBTQ+ Network and the Women’s Network, to challenge us and help us to constantly improve. Our armed forces network is one of our emerging networks.

Please refer to the attached job description and personal specification which detains the main responsibilities and requirements for this post.
