The post-holder will be expected to run a nurse led clinic and will be fully supported with any training requirements.
As a team, we are committed to ongoing training and education for all staff, and you will be expected to engage in regular stoma training with all levels of healthcare staff.
New members of staff receive a structured period of preceptorship and opportunities for external learning. The successful candidate will receive a warm welcome and all the help and support we can offer to become the very best you can be, including an excellent staff benefits package
The post holder will have a minimum of 3 years’ experience at Band 5 with a nursing degree qualification, and colorectal or stoma experience is essential.
