PDOC Clinical Nurse Specialist

The Role of the PDOC Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) will be integral to the complex care transition and ongoing ward-based nursing management from an acute care environment into a specialist PDOC bed and assessment environment.

The CNS will provide valuable and personalized support to patients and their families. They will implement and support ward staff to provide a tailored PDOC nursing care plan and liaise regularly with the MDT and family to inform them of any clinical/nursing developments.

The CNS will have dedicated time to implement and support best practice when working with PDOC patients on the Neuro Rehabilitation Unit (NRU).

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
