Endoscopy Staff Nurse

The main responsibility of this post will be to work as the registered Nurse alongside our Senior Healthcare Support Workers and Endoscopists in delivering high level care to patients in all areas of the unit; this role is highly technical as you will be working with state of the art endoscopic equipment which helps to diagnose, assess and treat patients conditions with the Gastrointestinal tact. This can be a physically demanding and challenging role but is very rewarding for the right candidate. The applicant does not require previous endoscopy experience as all training will be given, however a NMC registration is vital for this role. If you are motivated, enthusiastic and a confident team worker with good communication skills, you will be well suited to work within this large multidisciplinary team. Working pattern: Monday to Sunday, 08.00 to 22.00 (working pattern may be negotiable to suit successful applicant and may be subject to change as the service develops).

Our services include an ever increasing number of specialised therapeutic and diagnostic procedures which require a high level of technical capability and a passion for problem solving.
