The Bowel Screening Wales service is undergoing significant change in response to capacity and demand for optimisation, and requires our Hywel Dda Health Board team of Screening Practitioners to expand.
We are looking for a highly motivated, dynamic, forward-thinking part-time Nurse to join our Local Health Board's Bowel Screening Team.
Main duties of the job
The role will include managing patient caseloads, making an assessment of fitness for colonoscopy, attending the colonoscopy list, managing the results handling process and referral to the multidisciplinary team or other specialties as appropriate. The base will be Glangwili General Hospital, Carmarthen but cross cover may be required on occasion, at the other hospital sites.
The successful candidates will need to be innovative, have excellent communication skills and the ability to work both autonomously and effectively within a team. The team is small, friendly, supportive and strongly focuses on patient-centred care across all four sites of HDUHB. This post will be subject to the new terms and conditions of service to be introduced under the Agenda for Change agreement.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post. English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
Interviews to be held on 27/01/2025.
