A rewarding job as a BAND 3 Nursing Assistant in the Oxford Eye Hospital

The Oxford Eye Hospital based at the John Radcliffe Hospital is a centre of innovation in Ophthalmology, and we are expanding our nursing workforce to enable us to further develop our service and continue to provide excellent care.

We are a busy outpatient department treating over 106,000 adults and children a year in the full range of ophthalmology clinics including an emergency department and nurse-led pre-operative assessment. Our team is made up of over 30 members of staff including specialist nurses, nursing assistants, band 4 assistant practitioners, Nursing Associates, Eye Clinic Liaison Officers and a department house keeper.

As a Band 3 Nursing Assistant you will have a great opportunity to build upon your existing knowledge and skills. Being welcomed as part of our happy, dynamic team you will assist the Doctors and Nurses running clinics for adults and children from Monday to Saturday.

The Trust comprises of four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Having a confident, outgoing, kind personality with the energy and commitment to providing great quality care, you will interact well with patients and colleagues helping the service to run smoothly and our patients to have a positive experience of their time with us having been treated with respect, dignity and compassion.

In return we will offer you training and development in order that you can deliver skills such as taking bloods, cannulation, assessing patient’s vision and instilling eye drops. We have supported a number of our Band 3 Nursing Assistants in their training to become Band 4 Assistant Practitioners and plan to continue with this.

We recognise the valuable role of the Nursing Assistant and as such the Trust has its own Nursing Assistant Academy to promote your education and development. If you don’t already have it, you will start with completing The Care Certificate which consists of 15 standards which provide you with fundamental knowledge, confidence and skills to enable you to provide compassionate care to our patients unsupervised. You will receive this award at a celebratory graduation ceremony. After this we will support your ongoing development with in-house training and opportunities to advance in the role and your nursing career.

To be considered for this post we just ask that you have some experience in a healthcare role, communicate well, have a positive, ‘can-do’ attitude and can demonstrate a real passion for the work we do. If you have never thought about working ‘in eyes’ before, you will be amazed how interesting the specialty is and don’t worry; we will give you a comprehensive induction and you will soon be amazed at how fast your knowledge and skills grow - along with your passion to develop your career in the specialty.
