Job overview
Please note this role is based at Kendal.
This is an excellent opportunity to join the Renal Home Therapy Service in South Cumbria. We have recently expanded our service to open a new home dialysis training facility based at Westmorland renal centre (Westmorland General Hospital, Kendal).
We have a vacancy and are seeking individuals who would like to expand their knowledge in renal services or develop new skills. The post involves the ongoing education and training of patients and relatives on peritoneal or home haemodialysis to enable them to dialyse independently at home.
You will be required to work across the hospital-based training unit at Westmorland renal centre as well as the community setting covering Lancashire and South Cumbria.
The service also provides an acute drop-in service for the home dialysis patient. The Home Therapies Kendal team will work closely with the Home-therapies team based in Lancashire at Chorley District Hospital.
You will be highly motivated with excellent communication, interpersonal, and organisational skills and can work independently as a lone worker and within a multi-disciplinary team setting.
The role requires you to work across all sites of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust at Chorley and Preston Hospitals, with the main site being Westmorland Dialysis unit.
In return, we can offer a huge commitment to your ongoing development.

We are a friendly team and would welcome anyone thinking of taking up a career with us to get in touch with Tracy, our Unit Manager, and arrange an informal chat about what we can offer you.
Working for our organisation
Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely makes a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.
You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.
You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centers around patient care and enhancing their experience, which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
