Job description
The Outpatient Department at Winchester Hospital is looking for qualified nurse to join our team of nurses and health care assistants that work to support a wide variety of specialties from surgery to medicine, breast care to urology, dermatology to colorectal plus many more.
You will be assisting in a vast range of procedures which will include flexible sigmoidoscopy, minor dermatological procedures, ophthalmology and vascular dressing clinics, as well as general medical and surgical clinics.
Previous outpatient experience is desirable but not essential as training will be given. Professional development is high on our priorities. The department offers a supportive and learning environment which endeavours to constantly develop the service, in order that its patients receive the highest quality and most up to date care.
Flexible working is required; we are open from 8.30am-5.30pm Monday to Friday.
An initial period of supernumerary time and supervision will be provided during your induction, along with structured training and support.
This is a very patient-focused service and the successful candidate will need excellent communication and interpersonal skills and the ability to work across a range of different medical and surgical specialties.
The primary base is Winchester Hospital although you may be required to work individual shifts at one of the other Trust sites if required.
Our vision is to provide outstanding care for every patient. Patient care is at the heart of what we do at our three sites: Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital, Royal Hampshire County Hospital in Winchester and Andover War Memorial Hospital. Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust provides medical and surgical services to a population of approximately 600,000 people across Hampshire and parts of West Berkshire.
Our cultural ambition is to have a culture that places people at the heart of all we do, where we all belong, and where learning, improvement and excellence thrive.
We provide specialist services to people across the UK and internationally. We are one of only two centres in the UK treating pseudomyxoma peritonei (a rare form of abdominal cancer) and we are leaders in the field of tertiary liver cancer and colorectal cancer.
The trust employs more than 9,000 staff and has a turnover of over £500 million a year. As a Foundation Trust, we are directly accountable to our members through the governors. The Council of Governors represent the interests of their constituencies and influence the future plans of the Foundation Trust
