We are looking for an enthusiastic and dynamic nurse to join this exciting and fast-moving service.
The main function of your role will be to assess participants' fitness for colonoscopy, support them through the process including communicating results, providing a quality service, and maintaining accurate records.
You will attend Multi-Disciplinary Team meetings and link with health promotion teams, work independently across Mid & South Essex Trust but with the back-up of a supportive team environment.
It's essential that you have good organisational and communication skills, and you must be able to work flexibly as our screening lists may be undertaken 7 days a week with possibly some evening work.
If you are considering making an application, you are strongly advised to contact Karen Steggles, Lead Nurse on 01268 524900 ext. 1360 or email karen.steggles@nhs.uk to arrange an informal visit.
Main duties of the job
You will be supported through a comprehensive induction including training and will be required to attend a 3-day residential course to use the Bowel Cancer Screening database.
You would be expected to complete a Specialist Screening Practitioner certificate within 12 months of employment at Liverpool John Moore's University.
The office base for our screening services is currently at Basildon Hospital; however, you will be expected to work across all of the hospital sites in the Mid & South Essex sites.
About us
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is now one of the largest in the country, with a workforce of approximately 15,000 who serve a population of 1.2 million people.
We work together, and in conjunction with MSE Health and Care Partnership, to deliver excellent local and specialist services, to improve the health and wellbeing of our patients in a compassionate way, and provide a respectful, but vibrant place for staff to develop, innovate, and build careers.
From facilities through to consultant specialists, we want to be the best. To achieve this, we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be. Yes, experience is important, but so is outlook - if you are dynamic, forward-thinking, and enthusiastic, we want you to join us.
We not only offer you a good working environment with flexible working opportunities but also the opportunity to develop your career with access to appropriate training for your job and the support to succeed and progress.
