Job description

We’re looking for an exceptional and confident Critical Care Outreach Nurse to join our dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity for a skilled clinician who thrives in both critical care and outreach environments, delivering high-quality, evidence-based care to acutely unwell ward-based patients.

In this influential role, you will lead and inspire a multi-professional team, providing expert education, guidance, and support. You’ll manage a diverse hospital-wide caseload with a high degree of autonomy, assessing and managing “at risk” patients, initiating timely interventions, and shaping best practice.

As part of our 24/7 service, you’ll play a vital role in driving continuous improvement in patient outcomes and ensuring the highest standards of care across the organisation.

To understand the role in more detail, please refer to the attached job description and person specification.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
