1 month ago

Brighton, United Kingdom University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job overview

Is your passion giving excellent care? Are you career minded with drive and enthusiasm? Do you enjoy playing a key role within the multidisciplinary team? Can you make everyone feel welcomed, respected, cared for and reassured that they are always in safe hands because you are communicating clearly and offering excellent person centred care?

If you answer yes, then we are looking for you to join us at Newhaven Ward.

The post will be based at Newhaven Community Ward, which is on the site of the old Newhaven Downs Hospital. The unit is for patients who no longer require acute hospital care but need further skilled nursing and therapeutic support such as physiotherapy and occupational therapy before leaving NHS inpatient care altogether. A team of nurses, therapists, doctors and support staff will care for 34 patients in the ward, supporting them to recover before they move on.

We are a stand-alone unit and part of University Hospitals Sussex NHS Foundation Trust. We work closely with the wards and departments at RSCH and PRH.

We welcome applications from those who currently hold a UK NMC registration. If you currently hold an overseas nursing qualification and require sponsorship we are not currently direct hiring Internationally Qualified Nurses.

Main duties of the job

Applicants for this role will have a keen interest in patient rehabilitation and promoting independence, combined with an ability to provide care in a compassionate and dignified manner.

The successful applicant will be numerate and literate, with excellent communication skills.

The ideal candidate would be expected to deliver the highest standards of care to our patients and have a keen interest in falls prevention, dementia care, tissue viability, nutrition and hydration.

You will also have the opportunity to gain experience in complex discharge planning. The post holder needs to work well within a team and be able to work with a wide variety of staff to maintain standards in line with Trust and NMC guidelines.

You will be supported by the senior nursing team. You will be given a local ward induction, a trust induction and access to a robust preceptorship programme aimed at supporting you to develop within the first few months of starting. There is also ongoing support through regular appraisals, competency based learning, and relevant study days.

Continuing education and professional development are strongly encouraged and opportunities will be made available for the successful applicant as we work closely with our Higher Education partners to support nurses reach their full potential. The department actively encourages continued professional development.

Working for our organisation

At UHSussex, diversity is our strength, and we want you to feel included to help us always put the Patient First, as shown in our Outstanding for Caring CQC rating. Your uniqueness and experiences will be part of our creative and innovative community where everyone is encouraged to succeed. We have a range of Staff Networks to help break down barriers, and can offer a buddy to help new members settle in. We’re proud to be a Disability Confident Employer (Level 2) and a Veteran Aware Trust.

We treat our patients and staff with the same compassion and empathy we expect for ourselves. We’re here for them when they need us, and we go above and beyond to meet their needs. This can be seen in our Wellbeing Programme for staff which is extensive and designed to support you when you need it - because we know that to look after others we must first look after ourselves.

As a university trust and a leader in healthcare research, we value learning, teaching and training so that we can be the best that we can be. From the moment you start with us and throughout your career we will help you to grow and develop. We hope that in choosing UHSussex you are choosing a long and happy career where you will be able to see the difference you make and feel valued for all that you do.

We look forward to receiving your application and the start of your journey with UHSussex.
