Job description

A Vacancy at Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

Are you a Registered Nurse looking for personal and professional development in an evolving outpatient department? An excellent opportunity has arisen to join the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital as a Registered Nurse, as a part of our highly experienced and established team in the ENT Outpatients Department.

Based in Outpatients West at Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital on our modern, purpose-built site, this exciting opportunity is much more involved than you might expect from an outpatient’s role.

The successful candidate will work within all aspects of the ENT Department including the use of highly specialist equipment. You will also be given the opportunity to assist in Transnasal Oesophagoscopy and other procedures, which are carried out in the clinic environment.

There is the opportunity for nurse-led enhanced practice to provide aural care for patients with ear problems, giving you a great opportunity for personal development. Although previous aural care experience would be advantageous, it is not essential, as specialist in-house training will be provided.

Our department is also evolving to develop further nurse led roles in addition to already running post-operative follow-up checks for bone-conducting hearing-aid patients and nasal patients.

You will be joining a small and friendly team and will be given plenty of mentoring and support from experienced team members.

The main responsibilities of the role are:

• Participate in the nurse led aural care clinic.
• Participate in data collection for audits undertaken in the department.
• Act as a leader in the clinical area in the absence of a more senior member of staff.
• Act as a mentor and provide supervision to junior staff.
• Participate in the appraisal process for junior staff.
• Assist in rota planning.
• Participate in clinics and procedures under local anaesthetic undertaken in the department.

The successful candidate will be expected to work their hours over 4 days a week, Monday to Saturday. This will be discussed further at the interview.

With Norwich recently being named one of the Sunday Times ‘best places to live in 2021’ you will have plenty of opportunity to take advantage of our eclectic mix of independent shops, bars and restaurants as well as the wide-open countryside of idyllic Norfolk.
