You will be expected to work as part of a team in order to assist the doctors with diagnostic procedures and facilitate the efficient running of clinics. You will be required to assist in the running of specialised clinics such as our 2 week wait hysteroscopy, vulval and pelvic mass clinics, our colposcopy clinics supporting clinicians carry out treatments following abnormal smears and our general gynaecology clinics that include urogynaecology and endometriosis clinics. This role covers a wide variety of services within women's health. You will be part of the nursing team to support the department sister in the running of the unit. You will assist in the maintenance of the patient environment in terms of cleanliness, tidiness, auditing, and the restocking and ordering of supplies. You will also support our Pre-op assessment nurses to carry out assessments on our patients that fit certain criteria following outpatient hysteroscopy being booked for general anaesthetic.

If you have an interest in Women's Health, are flexible and self-motivated, then we would like to hear from you. A Band 6 Deputy Sisters post has become available in our busy diagnostic suite and outpatient departments.

The post holder will need to be flexible as days of work will be arranged depending on the needs of the service.
