Job Summary

Blackpool Teaching Hospitals is an acute hospital with many community supporting functions across the Fylde Coast and wider Lancashire. Blackpool Hospital sits within Blackpool itself close to the picturesque Stanley Park and within walking distance of the town centre. Blackpool has a highly transient population due to being a very busy seaside resort, which makes this role both unique and challenging for the right candidate.

It is an exciting time to become part of the Blackpool Teaching Hospitals Family as we embark on a transformational change journey in the way which we provide services to our patients and their families across our Integrated Care System.

Positive - Having a "can do" response whatever the situation.

Compassion - Always demonstrating we care.

Excellence - Continually striving to provide the best care possible.

Our Values are drivers for the behaviours that all our staff strive to demonstrate.

The values and behaviours have been and continue to be embedded and communicated across the organisation via a number of initiatives - including our recruitment processes, corporate induction, team briefings, meetings, appraisals and our annual awards ceremony.

Our unit is active in clinical research. We are recruiting patients to non-commercial studies including biologic registers and studies looking at intensive management of RA. Ideally, the applicant would play an active role in clinical research.
