Job description

Are you a passionate and dedicated nurse looking to take the next step in a role that fits around your life? Look no further! We are seeking a vibrant and compassionate Senior Nurse to join our dynamic out-of-hours team. This is an exciting, fast-paced role requiring safe and effective clinical decision-making to provide the highest quality care.

At Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust, we believe in providing exceptional care that goes beyond the ordinary, and we need you to help us achieve that vision.

When you join us, we work with you to develop your own personal development plan to support your learning style. We provide training and clinical supervision — and our career progression offer will allow you to develop your clinical, leadership, and preceptorship skills.

Main duties of the job

You will be a registered staff nurse with excellent assessment, planning, and evaluation skills to deliver clinical care to patients and support our Nursing Assistants overnight.

You will clinically coordinate and manage care, ensuring all calls are effectively assessed, triaged, allocated, and recorded. You will have an overview of the service as a whole to ensure patient and staff safety, and that care is appropriate and effective overnight (e.g., reallocating work to cover unexpected staff absence).

You must have excellent communication, organizational, and IT skills, as you will be coordinating care for a large number of complex patients.

You will provide clinical leadership, including line management of Band 5 Staff Nurses and oversight of Band 3 Nursing Assistants.

You must be able to think on your feet, problem-solve, juggle conflicting priorities, motivate others in challenging times, and utilize available resources effectively.
