Adult Critical Care Sister/Charge Nurse - Band 6
We are recruiting for experienced band 6 nurses with a post graduate qualification in critical care to join our Adult Critical Care Unit at the Royal London Hospital. We are very much on the frontline in London’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and are rapidly expanding our critical care capacity in response to demand in the capital. Our additional capacity will allow us to support the backlog of complex surgical patients awaiting elective surgery alongside our trauma and emergency patients whilst continuing to care for patients suffering from Covid-19 and our staff will rotate in their teams across all of our critical care areas.
As the UK’s largest trauma centre our ACCU unit leads the trauma network for North East London and Essex. It is a leading specialist centre with an international reputation for caring for some of the most seriously injured patients in London and beyond. In addition to trauma the Royal London Hospital also provides specialist care in neurosciences, a hyper‑acute stroke centre, and acute general medical, along with surgical and obstetric services.
Working within a highly skilled, dynamic multi‑disciplinary team, in our busy 60‑bedded Adult Critical Care Unit (ACCU), which accommodates both level 3 and level 2 patients, this is an excellent opportunity for energetic, enthusiastic staff nurses with at least 6 months acute experience to provide a high standard of care to patients within a challenging, yet supportive acute hospital setting.
Professional development is very important to us and we offer you the opportunity to undertake the band 5/6 development pathways, the critical care course, neurosciences critical care course/ILS/ALS, we are supporting a number of staff on their degree/masters pathways and in collaboration with City University an accredited Trauma Course in house.
As part of our Adult Critical Care commitment to enhance the working lives of our staff, we offer flexible working arrangements, childcare vouchers, family‑friendly policies and staff benefits including an excellent pension scheme.
