Sister/Charge Nurse – Critical Care Conquest

·
Full time
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Sister/Charge Nurse to join our friendly and supportive critical care team. We are looking for a nurse who is able to demonstrate recent substantive experience at Band 5 level in a critical care environment and is able to evidence the completion of the Intensive Care course with 6 months post consolidation.

We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic individual who is an excellent communicator and has a genuine interest in developing their critical care skills. Interpersonal skills are essential, and the candidate will demonstrate the ability to be forward-thinking and passionate about delivering high standards of care.

Conquest Critical Care currently is an 11-bedded unit, comprising 6 Level 3 (ITU) beds and 5 Level 2 (HDU) beds. There are plans to increase to 14 beds in 2024.

The role involves working within the multi-disciplinary team to assess, plan, implement, and evaluate care for level 2 and 3 patients. This includes providing comprehensive patient care and ensuring the optimum level of physical and psychological well-being is maintained throughout the period of critical illness. The successful candidate will also provide support to significant others, such as relatives and families, during this time. Additionally, the candidate will support senior and junior colleagues to ensure a cohesive approach to patient care on a shift-to-shift basis and will “take charge” of the unit in the absence of Senior Sister/Charge Nurse colleagues.

We are proud to provide ‘Outstanding’ care and be a great place to work.

We provide safe, compassionate, and high-quality care to half a million people living or visiting East Sussex. We are one of the largest organisations in East Sussex, the only integrated provider of acute and community care in Sussex. Our extensive services are provided by over 7000 members of staff working from acute hospitals in Hastings and Eastbourne, three community hospitals in Bexhill, Rye, and Uckfield, over 100 community sites, and in people’s own homes.

In 2020, the Care Quality Commission rated us as ‘Good’ overall, and ‘Outstanding’ for being caring and effective. The Conquest Hospital and our Community Services are rated ‘Outstanding’, while Eastbourne DGH is rated ‘Good’.

In 2020, the Trust launched its ambitious ‘Building for our Future’ programme. This once-in-a-lifetime programme aims to repair, redevelop, and expand our hospitals, transforming the environment in which we provide care for generations to come.
