Job Summary

Beech Ward is a 24-bedded, stroke-specific rehabilitation ward within the Norfolk Community Health and Care NHS Trust. We are part of the stroke pathway, where patients are transferred from the acute setting for a period of rehabilitation. Our patients encounter a range of complexities, including aphasia, dysphagia, tone, cognitive, mood, and mobility difficulties.

Main Duties

You will work as an integral part of the ward nursing team, responsible for ensuring high standards of rehabilitation, care planning, and assessment from admission to discharge of patients with complex needs. We encourage our staff nurses to train in skills such as venepuncture, male and female catheterization, ECG recording, 24-hour tape cardiac monitoring, and complete stroke-specific competences.

About Us

As a member of our team, you will have the opportunity to train and develop your stroke rehabilitation skills in a specialist rehabilitation environment alongside a dedicated inter-disciplinary team. We are committed to providing high-quality care to our patients and their families, and we are looking for dynamic and innovative staff nurses to join our team.

Key Responsibilities
  1. Provide a nursing service within the interdisciplinary rehabilitation unit, consisting of liaison, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of patients following stroke.
  2. Independently manage a defined, delegated caseload with support from senior staff members.
  3. Participate in the patients' multi-disciplinary rehabilitation goals, which may include aspects of personal care, ensuring a functional approach to rehabilitation.
  4. Provide clinical interventions to meet the holistic needs of patients, including issues relating to personal care and wound management, medicines management, and catheter/enteral care.
  5. Make appropriate clinical decisions following assessment, using evidence-based practice and outcome measures to provide the most effective treatment to patients, their families, and carers within clearly defined inter-disciplinary care plans.
  6. Work within defined specialist, department, and national protocols/policies for stroke care, such as the NICE clinical guidelines and National Stroke Strategy, and work within the professional code of conduct as outlined by the NMC.
  7. Be professionally and legally accountable for all aspects of own work and ensure that work is within professional standards and clinical guidelines.
  8. Adapt practice to meet individual patient and families' circumstances, including due regard for specific clinical conditions related to communication, cognitive, emotional, and physical impairments resulting from a stroke.
  9. Monitor the patients' general medical condition and respond appropriately.
  10. Ensure that patients, families, and carers are involved in the planning and prioritization of their stroke rehabilitation care plans.
  11. Work collaboratively with other services that may be involved in the care of the patients, for instance, social services, and the volunteer sector.
  12. Attend and contribute to relevant multidisciplinary meetings and client reviews as appropriate.
  13. Demonstrate clinical effectiveness by use of evidence-based practice and outcome measures relevant to stroke, in particular in regards to nursing intervention.
  14. Provide supervision, advice, and support to others regarding management and care of the individual nursing needs of patients, maintaining skin integrity and continence issues, in particular rehabilitation assistants.
  15. Conduct multi-disciplinary initial contact assessments as a member of the ward team/stroke early supported discharge team with a senior colleague.
  16. Provide emotional support to patients and families, including those with complex needs, with support from clinical psychologist and senior colleagues.
  17. Participate in the planning and discharging of patients receiving nursing interventions when agreed objectives have been reached or treatment is no longer appropriate. This will involve discharge planning as part of the inter-disciplinary team, and will require planned referral onto other appropriate agencies/services.
  18. Be able to work over a seven-day period, covering 24 hours a day in an inpatient setting.
