In this post you will deliver excellent and individualised care to our patients, and you will be fully supported to achieve this through our comprehensive educational strategy.

Depending on your level of experience, you will develop your competence and confidence through a program of supervised practice, Post-Operative and Recovery specific competencies and a series of development days.

You will work within a Clinical Specialist team and contribute to activities and projects with a goal of professional and practice development. POCU is a new, developing service within the Trust and we are fully committed to offering the appropriate support, guidance and training of our staff to offer our patients the extended care they need post-surgery. There are a number of development opportunities such as the Degree top-up, Anaesthetic course and ALS/ILS/PILS.

You will be expected to transfer patients on their beds from recovery to the ward and hand over the care the patient received during their stay within the theatre suite.

In this role, you will be expected to undertake internal rotation of shifts, nights days and weekends with varying start and finish times.
