Staff Nurse - Endoscopy

Job summary

An exciting career opportunity has arisen for a Staff Nurse to join our team on the JAG-accredited Endoscopy Unit.

The Endoscopy Unit performs a variety of standard and advanced procedures for both out-patients and in-patients, including gastroscopy, sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, PEG insertion, oesophageal stenting, and ERCP. Other specialist work is undertaken by individual consultants.

Main duties of the job

Reporting to the Endoscopy Unit Manager, you will be responsible for decontaminating endoscopes, assisting endoscopists, and acting as the patient's named nurse, advocating for their privacy and dignity throughout the procedure.
