Liverpool, United Kingdom Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen for experienced Band 3 HCA's to join the team in the Theatre Admissions Unit in The Royal Liverpool Hospital.

The Theatre Admissions Unit (TAU) is a large ward area made up of 18 side rooms and 4 'bays' that hold 7 patients. It is a fast paced and dynamic ward/unit that admits all TCI's for the hospital for varying specialities, including but not limited to Urology, Colorectal, HPB, General Surgery, Interventional Radiology and Ophthalmology.

TAU prepares the patients for theatre and also provides post operative care to the day case patients who do not need an overnight stay.

The post holder is expected to assist the Ward/Unit team in providing the highest possible standard of pre and post operative care for patients and their families/carers.

You must be able to demonstrate experience in a hospital setting working at NVQ L3 and must be signed off on the Care Certificate.

The role will involve participating in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of nursing care. Participating in all aspects of patient care, you will give particular attention to pressure ulcer care, personal hygiene, toileting and feeding reporting progress and will raise any concerns to the Registered Nurse (RN). You will work collaboratively and co-operatively with others to meet the needs of patients and their families. You will undertake a range of skilled tasks and duties with support from the Registered Nurse. You will proactively lead in delivering all aspects of basic patient care, from admission to discharge and will take a leading role in supporting and developing more junior staff and the development of the ward.

In return, the Trust can offer you excellent developmental opportunities within a fully supportive, positive and friendly environment.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts; Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.
