Description
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and highly motivated registered nurse to join our vascular service as a trainee advanced nurse practitioner.
This developmental role is ideal for an experienced surgical nurse with a background in vascular nursing at band 6/7 who wishes to advance their practice and become an expert practitioner in vascular care.
The successful candidate will work alongside an established vascular MDT supporting the assessment and co-ordination of patients from outlying wards and King George hospital.
The candidate must be flexible around working across site.
The post holder will commence in post as a band 7 and will be expected to undertake the advanced nurse practitioner course with some self-directed learning, and the security of the post will be dependent upon successful completion of the units.
