Job description

We have an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic Band 5 nurse to join our highly skilled and motivated team in providing excellent care, whilst caring for patients undergoing interventional procedures and recovering within the department.

The unique and varied nature of the speciality means there is always something new and interesting to learn as new procedures are developed and undertaken. We provide high quality patient focused care to outpatients and inpatients. So if you are dynamic and motivated, have excellent communication skills, experience in an acute setting, and would like a new challenge then this is the team for you!

There are varied shifts worked with core hours between 08:00 and 18:00 Monday to Friday. However, work patterns may change in the future as the service requirements change.

The applicant is expected to be able to work across site within the Diagnostic Imaging Departments as necessary. Lead aprons are worn for several hours at a time for certain procedures, and there is a certain amount of manual handling of patients, beds and trolleys.

Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust operates a 24-hour service, 365 days a year. As such, all nursing, clinical, and operational roles may involve working on a 24/7 shift basis, unless otherwise specified during the recruitment process. We are proud of our diverse and inclusive workforce and actively encourage applications irrespective of age, disability, gender, race and ethnicity, religion or belief and sexual orientation. We can make reasonable adjustments and offer support and advice in a variety of ways throughout the application process.

Successful candidates will be appointed to the first pay step within the band when they start with the Trust (unless they have previous relevant NHS continuous service), thereafter individuals will progress up the pay steps in accordance with NHS Agenda for Change (AfC) terms and conditions. For part time roles you will receive a pro rata'd (proportional) salary payment based on the appropriate pay step/point and hours worked in accordance with AfC and all medical and dental terms and conditions.

Note: Some vacancies may receive a high volume of applications. In such cases, the vacancy may close earlier than the advertised closing date. We encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

We take our responsibilities to the environment extremely seriously and have an ambitious Green Plan that we're delivering. Actions include having uniforms made from recycled plastic, 100% renewable electricity and planting 150 trees at East Surrey Hospital. Read our plan here.
