Are you ready for a new challenge and the opportunity to truly develop your clinical practice?
We’re looking for a motivated, enthusiastic, and experienced cardiology nurse to join our small, friendly team of Heart Failure Specialist Nurses at an exciting time of service expansion.
- Are you a Band 5 nurse looking to step into a more autonomous role, building confidence and advanced skills within a supportive team?
- Are you a Band 6 nurse ready for the next challenge, keen to gain community experience and be part of the evolving Hospital at Home model?
If you thrive on variety, enjoy learning, and want to play a key role in shaping a growing service, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
We’re a small, close knit, and supportive team who pride ourselves on working collaboratively and looking after one another.
We work closely with a wider multidisciplinary team, including cardiology consultants and a specialist pharmacist, to provide seamless, high quality care.
Currently, we cover the Calderdale community, with each team member spending one day per week reviewing inpatients remotely across CRH and HRI.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You Will Bring
- Confidence in cardiology, with a sound understanding of heart failure and its management.
We are committed to supporting your development and offer a wide range of learning opportunities, including:
- Heart Failure Diploma
- Independent Non-Medical Prescribing
- Advanced patient assessment
- A variety of additional courses tailored to your learning needs
What You Will Do
-
Work autonomously, managing your own time and caseload to deliver high quality care to patients with heart failure. This includes:
- Initial assessment
- Medication optimisation
- Ongoing education and support to promote self-management
One day per week will be dedicated to reviewing inpatients at Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH) and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI) (currently completed remotely).
As our Hospital at Home service develops, the team will provide care 7 days a week, 8am–8pm, and you’ll have the exciting opportunity to help shape and influence the future direction of this service.
You will receive a supernumerary period and ongoing support from an established Heart Failure Specialist Nurse, ensuring you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
