We are seeking to appoint enthusiastic, caring, highly motivated Registered Nursing Associates to join our team on ward 7 within The Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, Cramlington.
This is an exciting opportunity to work within a 30 Bed Respiratory Medical Ward. We provide excellent care to patients who present with a range of acute and chronic Respiratory conditions and also work closely with the palliative care and community teams to provide end of life care to patients both in hospital and at home.
Good interpersonal skills, a willingness to learn and the ability to work effectively in a team, along with a positive attitude towards change are essential to the role.
Northumbria Trust have recently embarked on a top up qualification programme to allow Registered Nurse Associates to progress their qualification and become Band 5 Registered staff nurses. Successful candidates in this position could be eligible on application and experience once in post.
Please note that it is an essential requirement for this role that you are an NMC registered Nurse Associate.
The ward operates an internal rotation rota system which includes a range of shift patterns. We have a friendly, flexible and forward thinking team. The vacancies can accommodate both full or part-time working.
If you feel the ward interests you then we would welcome your application. As a Registered Nursing Associate you will work as part of our nursing family to promote health and prevent ill health, provide and monitor care, improve the safety and quality of care and significantly contribute to integrated care delivery.
We manage three major locality hospitals at North Tyneside, Wansbeck and Hexham, plus a number of smaller community hospitals and clinics from Tynemouth to Berwick on Tweed, covering one of the largest geographical areas of any NHS trust in the country. Leading in innovation and quality – opening a state of the art Northumbria Specialist Emergency Care Hospital, the first of its kind in England. Do you want to work in one of the best performing NHS organisations in England?
