Salisbury, United Kingdom Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire (BSW) Bowel Screening Programme is seeking to recruit 2 Specialist Screening Practitioners (SSPs) to join our team. One based at Salisbury, the other at Great Western Hospital.

The bowel screening service addresses the needs of individuals aged between 54 and 75 who have an abnormal test result from a home screening kit. Plans are in place to extend this age group to 50 over the next year.

SSPs are expected to work autonomously guiding patients to make informed decisions at all stages of the screening pathway, whilst adhering to Trust and bowel cancer screening policies and protocols.

Applicants must be a registered general nurse with appropriate knowledge and experience. Specific training will be provided. Our programme delivers screening services from three hospitals - Bath, Swindon, and Salisbury. While travel between sites will be required, work patterns are primarily in normal office hours. Bank holiday working is not usually required

You will take overall responsibility for patients within the bowel screening programme ensuring they are appropriately assessed, management plans are in place and the care they receive is effective, compassionate and of the best quality. The post holder will be expected to work autonomously as a Specialist Screening Practitioner for the Bowel Cancer Screening Programme while collaborating appropriately with members of the multi-disciplinary team and staff at other sites, ensuring that the screening population of Bath, Swindon and Wiltshire receive an equal and diverse Bowel Cancer Screening Service.

Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust (SFT) is an innovative hospital with a proud heritage and over 250 years of experience behind us. Here we’re driven to deliver an outstanding experience for everyone and have been well regarded for the quality of care and treatment we continue to provide for our patients and also our staff.

We are an acute Trust, rated “Good” by the CQC, with a track record of high performance providing regional and super regional specialist services such as: Burns, Plastics & Reconstructive Surgery, Wessex Regional Genetics Laboratory, Wessex Rehabilitation, Spires Cleft Centre and the Duke of Cornwall Spinal Treatment Centre. We have about 470 beds and employ over 4000 staff.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. We think working here is pretty rewarding. You can access a range of NHS discounts, receive a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme. On-site benefits include car parking (fee applies), leisure centre, day nursery and holiday play scheme.
