We are delighted to offer the chance to join our team as a Staff Nurse.

This will be an exciting opportunity to provide clinical skills in theatre to support the Peri-operative team and ensure patients' needs are met through delivering the highest quality care.

As a Major Trauma Centre (GMMTH), we have been equipped with state-of-the-art facilities in preparation for the expansion of our theatre service.

We are looking for an enthusiastic candidate to join our expanding specialised team. You will need to be particularly committed to the key role of educating, empowering, and supporting people in the theatre environment while demonstrating excellent clinical skills.

Main duties of the job

Support others in the development of knowledge, ideas, and work practice. Ensure that essential information on the patient's condition and progress is recorded appropriately according to NMC guidelines. Maintain accurate records of resource use. Support patients/carers, encouraging them to promote their own health and wellbeing and to express their interests and concerns. Actively support the team to ensure the effective running of the department. This role may require you to work both days and nights.

Job description

Job responsibilities

This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse in the UK or those who are currently enrolled in a course that means they expect to receive their full NMC PIN within the next 2-3 months.

Please note that an NMC PRN PIN is not a full NMC PIN and would not fulfill the essential criteria for this role.

The NCA can no longer accept applications from International Nurses and Midwives who are yet to complete all competencies needed to receive a full NMC PIN to practice in the UK as we have paused our OSCE programme indefinitely. To learn more about how you can gain a full NMC PIN to be eligible to apply for our vacancies in the future, please see the NMC website:
