Registered Nurse – Heart Centre

·
Full time
Do you have a desire to learn and develop in the field of interventional cardiology? If so, we have the perfect job for you at The Ipswich Heart Centre.

This is a wonderful opportunity for a dynamic, motivated and innovative individual, who has keen interest in an area that supports the delivery of coronary angiography, rotablation, stenting & cardiac implantable devices.

The Ipswich Heart Centre has 2 catheterisation laboratories and 12 recovery beds. Previous cardiac or cath lab experience is desirable but not essential. We offer training and have competencies in place to enable the successful applicant to rotate between our 12 bedded recovery area and Cath labs.

A visit to the department prior to the interview is strongly encouraged, so we can offer discussion of the post and an opportunity to observe the type of work performed by staff.

Hours of work are currently between Monday to Friday, and between the hours of 7am to 8pm, with a requirement to provide on-call cover. Shift patterns vary to meet the demands of the PCI service which is working towards delivering a 24/7 service.

If you are interested in joining our team and making a difference contact Unit Sister Pippa Wilson on 01473 703539 or pippa.wilson@esneft.nhs.uk
