We are one of the most successful teaching trust in the country, with a national and international reputation for nursing in acute and community settings, and offer the second highest number of specialist services in the UK.
This places us in a unique and enviable position to offer nursing and operating department practitioner (ODP) career opportunities in practically every healthcare specialism.
We work with an ethos of keeping patients at the heart of everything we do and are always seeking self-motivated, confident nurses with a natural aptitude for empathy and attentiveness, who can demonstrate a sensitive yet self-assured approach with patients.
As an advocate for patients, our nurses need to demonstrate authentic communication and listening skills, and the ability to build trust, considering all factors in their response to prognosis and treatment plans. This requires considerable resilience and insight, plus liaison with colleagues from external partnership services, requiring good coordination and organisation skills.
Providing outstanding standards of care takes a successful multi-disciplinary approach – our nurses and ODPs work alongside a large team of talented individuals including medical, surgical, anaesthetic and intensive care teams, allied health professionals, pharmacists and many more.
Our teams also include many nurse specialists, so there is great scope for progression to more specialist and other senior nursing and managerial roles.
Continuous professional development (CPD)
There are many opportunities to support development of your clinical, leadership, personal and professional skills in our organisation, through a range of leadership, management and coaching programmes.
Continuous professional development is extremely important to us, to ensure our staff can fully realise their potential.
You will be encouraged and supported to develop your skills and competencies with dedicated support from our clinical educators.
