Are you passionate about delivering life-saving care at the most critical moments? We are looking for an enthusiastic and skilled Acute Stroke Response Nurse to join our forward-thinking stroke service. This is a fast-paced, autonomous role where your decisions and actions directly influence outcomes for patients experiencing a potential stroke.
You will play a pivotal role in the rapid identification, assessment, and management of stroke patients—ensuring that time-critical interventions are delivered in line with best practice and national stroke guidelines. Working at the frontline of emergency care, you will be the first clinical point of contact for suspected stroke patients arriving in the Emergency Department or being referred from the community, GP, or ambulance service.
The post holder will work closely with stroke consultants, registrars, emergency physicians, radiology teams and wider multidisciplinary colleagues to ensure each patient is accurately assessed and guided through the appropriate stroke care pathway. This includes the initiation of thrombolysis protocols, requesting urgent imaging, and escalating for thrombectomy where appropriate.
This is an exciting opportunity to be part of a specialist nursing team that is central to the delivery of high-quality, patient-centred stroke care. You will provide expert nursing leadership and clinical oversight, helping to drive improvements in service delivery, patient safety, and stroke outcomes across the trust.
To see the full detailed job description and main responsibilities of the job please refer the job description attached.
We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
