SalaryJob summary
Piper ward is a 26 bedded rehab unit with 10 stroke beds and 16 general rehab beds. We provide a tailored rehabilitation programme to meet the individual patients needs and help them regain maximum function through realistic goal setting.
We have a multi-disciplinary team approach ensuring that patient and their family are included in care decisions from the first day of admission.
We are looking for Staff Nurse to join our team. Knowledge of inpatient rehabilitation would be useful.
Main duties of the job
We are a team of RGNs, Associate Practitioners, Healthcare assistants, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists and Rehabilitation support workers who aim to maximise our patients' potential to enable them to return home. When that is not possible we work closely with our adult social care colleagues to plan best outcomes.
We are looking for an RN who enjoys working as part of a friendly and supportive team. It is hard work but very rewarding - planning the patient pathway, enabling them to progress and supporting them through setbacks is what we do best.
Here at SCFT we are proud of the care we offer to all our patients. Our Trust inpatient units' care was rated 'Outstanding' in our most recent CQC inspection.
As this is a 24 hour service, internal rotation will be operating. Both full and part time hours will be considered.
