Staff Nurse – Day Patient and Endoscopy Unit – Band 5: Sponsorship Available

Job summary

The States of Guernsey are looking for a Staff Nurse – Day
Patient and Endoscopy Unit to join the Acute Services Day Patient
Unit.

Main duties of the job

The Day Patient Unit consists of
a 19 bedded ward area with additional seated waiting areas for ambulatory
patients. A minor operation/procedure room with 2 bedded post-anaesthetic
recovery unit also forms part of the unit along with an Endoscopy Suite.

Service users attend the unit for a variety of surgical, endoscopy, dental,
interventional radiological and other diagnostic procedures.

The overall purpose of the role is to practice clinically as a member of the
nursing and multi-professional team within the Day Patient Unit. This involves
contributing to the evaluation of the effectiveness of planning and delivery of
services and to be proactive in maintaining quality, service improvement, and
patient flow in a safe and comfortable environment.

The Day Patient Unit relies on the multi-skilled nature of the team and whilst
previous experience would be an asset, this role is also developmental so
offers the opportunity to gain knowledge and skills to provide assistance in,
for example, the minor operations/procedures room and endoscopy suite.
Pre-Assessment also forms part of the Ward responsibilities.

All staff within the Day Patient Unit are expected to rotate to other areas of
the department when service requirements dictate, within the limitations of
knowledge and skills.
