• Independently managing their own caseload on Intensive Care


• Be involved in daily management of ventilated patients.


• Be involved with rehabilitation of patients with complex needs.


• Supervision of Band 5's, assistants and students.

This post is based in the Respiratory, Surgical, and Vascular Therapy Team and the successful candidate will be based on the Intensive Care Unit. You must demonstrate proven experience in managing critically ill patients with complex needs--specifically demonstrating secure clinical knowledge in invasive and non-invasive ventilation, tracheostomy care, and holistic rehabilitation. An understanding of the long-term physical and psychological impacts of critical illness is highly desirable.

Operating both autonomously and as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team, you will manage your own clinical caseload while delegating appropriate tasks to optimise service efficiency. Excellent communication, strong organisational abilities, and a flexible approach are essential to adapt to the dynamic demands of the service.
