Do you have an interest in Enteral Nutrition, PEGs and Nasogastric Tubes?
Do you want to enhance your nursing skills by looking after people with feeding tubes?
Do you want to challenge yourself?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Nurse to join our well established, award-winning community enteral nutrition nurses team on a years fixed term.
We are looking for a motivated, dynamic and enthusiastic nurse to join our department.
The role will work with adult patients alongside dietitians, community-based district nursing staff and our experienced Nutrition Nursing team to advise and support on all aspects of enteral feeding in adults. The team liaises closely with acute units, enteral feeding companies, community hospitals and nursing homes in relation to home enteral feeding discharges, assessment for initiation of enteral feeding, direct patient care and staff training. The successful post holder should therefore have experience in enteral feeding. Working alongside the Specialist Nutrition Nurses for Adults, you will gain expert knowledge and support patients in their own homes to prevent admission to hospital.
