Job description

Job summary

The Royal Stoke Emergency Departments is going through an exciting period of positive development and change at the moment. We welcome motivated, enthusiastic and innovative Nurses to join our ED team.
These vacancies are being recruited on a 9-month fixed-term basis to provide maternity leave cover. Given the short-term nature of the posts and current service pressures within the department, we are unable to appoint Newly Qualified Nurses, candidates requiring relocation support, or candidates who require visa sponsorship.
We have a workforce model focused on providing safe and effective patient care, leadership and development of the nursing team. You will be offered a period of supernumerary duty as well as training from a dedicated team and support and guidance through acclimatization and preceptorship.

Full and part time hours are available; you will be required to work an internal rotation pattern covering day and night shifts over 7 days including weekends and public holidays.

Main duties of the job

In this post you will be responsible for providing on going care of patients and providing an effective care pathway within the Emergency department.

We are committed to developing a culture in line with our values that improves quality and enhances the patient experience, and you will play a vital part in developing new ways of working to achieve this goal.

Candidates either need to be on the NMC register as an Adult or Mental Health Nurse; a prolonged period of time spent within an ED department either as a substantive member of staff or as bank staff will be essential to a quick transition. It is essential that applicants have spent time in an acute hospital andmust be flexible to the demands of the service and be able to work within a multidisciplinary team within a large, busy and evolving department. Excellent communication skills are essential for this post.
