We are looking to recruit highly motivated and enthusiastic registered nurses for the medical, surgical and community divisions at Calderdale and Huddersfield NHS Foundation Trust. We accept applications from those already registered and students who are within 6 months of registration.
Joining our team will mean being belonging to a hard-working, multi-professional workforce, dedicated to delivering compassionate, patient-centred, evidence-based care. Our One Culture of Care philosophy recognises that care and support for colleagues is essential to ensure quality care is delivered to patients. To support your well-being and development we will:
Provide a supportive learning environment in which to start your career.
Enrol you on a comprehensive, quality-award recognised, 12-month preceptorship programme, including the allocation of a named preceptor.
Ensure you develop the necessary specialty knowledge and skills to be confident in assessing patients' needs and evaluating and amending their care as appropriate, without direct supervision.
Provide access to a variety of support networks promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion.
Involve you collaboratively to support local quality improvements and actively influence the future development of our services.
Give you digital access to advanced roster management.
The successful candidates will be required to work flexibly across the 24-hour period and 7-day week.
We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients' homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children's and young people's services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
To be responsible and accountable for the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of evidence-based, person-specific, and family-centred nursing care. The post holder will also assist in the necessary management and organisation of nursing work associated with care quality improvement and assurance.
