Respiratory Nurse Specialist - Asthma and COPD
Fixed Term contract until 31 March 2026 Seeking a dynamic, highly motivated and pro-active nurse to join our enthusiastic and high performing team of Specialist Respiratory Nurses. This fixed term 12 month contract provides a valuable opportunity for an ambitious nurse to gain experience of practicing in a specialist nurse role. In this role you will be supported to develop your knowledge & skills, enabling you to practice at an autonomous and highly specialist level. You will rapidly improve your respiratory expertise but will also gain new skills which would transfer to other specialist roles. You will be supported to work as an independent practitioner, whilst at the same time working closely with the multi-disciplinary team in both secondary and primary care. You will ideally have prior experience of working within a respiratory setting and be able to demonstrate a high level of knowledge and expertise of respiratory patient care; this is not essential as full training will be given to the right candidate. You will have a flexible approach to work, participating in service development and evaluation as we move forward, with a solution-focused can-do attitude. Our team has responsibility for reviewing patients admitted with an exacerbation of COPD or Asthma, providing education and support for the patient, giving management recommendations to the ward-based MDT, and ensuring referral to community services/ GP practice on discharge. Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust is the biggest provider of healthcare services in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

The Trust employs 5,000+ staff, has a budget of £380 million, and 750 beds. We work with health and social care organisations - including NHS Kernow and NHS England - to ensure local healthcare needs are met. We provide acute medical, surgical, and specialist services to around 500,000 - which can increase significantly during busy holiday periods. The Trust has teaching hospitals status as part of the University of Exeter Medical School. Keeping at the forefront of medical advances, we continually develop clinical services and are committed to maximising the range of specialist care offered locally. We can offer you a rewarding career in a supportive working environment. We have extensive educational links to help you realise your full potential and develop skills to provide outstanding healthcare to the local community. Enjoy an outstanding quality of life in a place that offers surfing beaches and fishing harbours to beautiful countryside and historic towns. With clean air, plenty of opportunities for outdoor activities, and excellent schools, colleges, and universities (including adult education), it is the ideal place for families and for you to develop your own career.
