Job overview
Would you like to work in a developing and progressive service that has a specific commitment to the provision of high quality safe care for women? If so then the gynaecology ward could be your next career location
We have a number of amazing opportunities available due to promotion of the existing post holder alongside an increasing in funding investment for an established and experienced registered nurse that is looking for the next career move. You will be an enthusiastic, hard-working and committed individual to join our Women's Health Team. The Gynaecology ward team provide care to women and their families across our inpatient ward and our gynaecology and early pregnancy assessment unit as well as its own incorporated day of surgery admission area separate to that of the rest of the hospital.
The Gynaecology Ward accommodates a diverse mixture of surgical and emergency patients within the 18 bedded area, offering a tertiary service for Gynaecology Oncology and Endometriosis patients alongside our early pregnancy patients, alongside a busy emergency assessment unit.
It is strongly recommended that interested candidates get in touch / look around the unit to understand the way the unit operates.
Early pregnancy experience is desired but not essential.
We have 3-4 posts available depending on the hours wanted by the successful applicants. Please ensure you stipulate the hours you are looking for in your supporting statement.

You will deputise as a deputy ward manager on behalf of the ward manager to ensure consistent and safe care with compassion is delivered at all times to our patients whilst leading our amazing nursing and wider MDT teams.
As the shift leader on GEPAU you will take the lead in triaging the incoming referrals for assessment and supporting the other nurses on duty, in a department that can see around 30 - 40 emergency attendances per day, with the aim to avoid admission to hospital.
Whilst on the ward you will work as the shift leader, coordinating the ward activity and supporting our team to deliver outstanding patient care.
A visit to the department is highly recommended to understand this fast paced and dynamic environment.
Working for our organisation
We have 10000 fantastic people working hard to deliver quality services to our patients. Whatever your role, you help look after 370,000 people in our local area & give specialist care to 1.5 million people across Lancashire & Cumbria.
Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.
You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.
You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
