Job description

Overview

If you are looking for a new challenge come and join our growing team providing quality care for patients across the whole endoscopy pathway.

The successful applicant will be a hardworking and motivated team player committed to delivering high standards of patient-centred care with excellent communication skills, a flexible attitude and a commitment to personal development.

The post holder will have an important role in this large and dynamic team that includes a team of Nurse Endoscopists, Gastroenterology Consultants, Colorectal/Upper GI Surgical Consultants and a large nursing and HCSW team.

This role requires an active UK NMC Registration. All staff recruited are expected to be available to work flexibly across all Trust locations when service demands require it.

Base Location: Poole. Interview Date: TBC.

Poole Hospital Endoscopy Unit consists of 3 procedure rooms. Royal Bournemouth Hospital has 3 procedure rooms and Wimborne has 1 procedure room. Across sites we provide diagnostic and therapeutic upper and lower GI procedures, respiratory procedures like bronchoscopy, EBUS and thoracoscopy. We also do complex procedures including Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS), Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and the Bowel cancer screening programme.

Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme. In some cases this means that a service may move site this year or next, either temporarily or long term. Recruiting Managers interviewing for this role will be happy to answer any specific questions at interview. Please note if the role or service is relocated as part of a planned move, employees will not be eligible for excess mileage reimbursement. Travel from the postholder's home to the new work base will be considered a normal commute. Any other changes not related to this relocation will be managed according to the relevant Trust or National terms and conditions.
