Job overview

An opportunity has arisen for a full-time fixed term OR secondment position of a Gastroenterology Nurse Specialist to join our very successful Inflammatory Bowel Disease Service. 

The post holder will be trained up by this well-established nurse-led service which involves managing complex patients, biologics and advice lines and undertaking nurse led clinics. The post holder will work collaboratively with the other IBD Specialist nurses within the trust and will therefore need strong leadership skills and be able to work autonomously.

The post holder will be key in supporting the Gastroenterology Consultants and the service, working in partnership with patients and other health care professionals to ensure patients are receiving the best care and support with their condition and streamlining the patient’s pathway. This will include using advanced judgement and knowledge of the speciality, and to be able to lead and show innovative nursing practice within inflammatory bowel disease within the trust and also through local networks.

The successful candidate must have previous experience of working in the field of gastroenterology and have held a band 6 position. This role will include managing a patient caseload, receiving referrals, carrying out advice line support and running nurse-led clinics. The post holder will need to be computer literate and have the ability to use IT systems.

Main duties of the job

This role will require you to work cross-site at both Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital to enable integration into both teams on both sites.

The post holder will need to work within the gastroenterology multi-disciplinary team providing specialist nursing care to a defined group of patients with Inflammatory Bowel conditions using clearly defined protocols.

The role will involve correspondence with other health care professionals in primary and secondary care, therefore strong written and communication skills are desirable.

The post-holder will need to be able to work autonomously, however be able to escalate concerns or seek clinical guidance when appropriate and will be supported by the Gastroenterology team.

The role will also involve patient education in the form of teaching sessions, to empower patients with the knowledge to manage their conditions. At times you may also be required to support nursing and ward staff, and will promote awareness, implementation and adherence of trust, national and professional polices.
