We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated Band 5 Staff Nurses to join our welcoming team within the JAG-accredited Endoscopy Unit at Hemel Hempstead Hospital. This is an excellent opportunity for nurses who are keen to develop specialist clinical skills within a supportive and friendly environment.
Our Endoscopy Unit delivers a wide range of diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, supporting Gastroenterologists, Surgeons and Nurse Endoscopists to provide high-quality patient care. Endoscopy is a dynamic and evolving speciality, offering continuous opportunities for professional development and learning.
These posts are suitable for qualified nurses with an interest in Endoscopy, as well as those wishing to develop their career within a specialised clinical area.
Previous Endoscopy experience is not essential, as full training and support will be provided.
Endoscopy offers an excellent environment in which to develop specialist clinical skills, and many of our nurses progress into advanced and specialist roles within Gastroenterology.
With a new hospital planned for Watford and work underway to update theatres at St Albans City Hospital, this is an exciting time to join us.
We are building on the success of our award‑winning virtual hospital and re‑imagining models of care, working ever‑more closely with partners and making the most of advances in digital healthcare.
Staff wellbeing and development are a priority at our Trust, as is the role of innovation in improving clinical care, outcomes and patient experience. Our vision is Excellent patient care, together and our values are to be empowered, compassionate, professional and inclusive. They capture an important balance across what we must all do as individuals and to support others.
We offer a variety of flexible working options as we recognise the importance of a good work‑life balance.
