About the Role
This role is offered on a fixed term/secondment basis for 9 months. The hours are part-time, 22.5 hours per week.
Internal applicants who wish to be considered for a secondment opportunity should discuss with their line manager the suitability of a possible secondment.
This is an exciting opportunity for a B5 or B6 Sexual Health Nurse; if you do not have a recognised contraception qualification and sexual health experience you would be employed as a B5 nurse. However, having gained practical experience in clinic and upon successful completion of the University of the West of England's Integrated Practice for Sexual and Reproductive Health you would be a B6 Nurse.
The role is centred upon working within Gloucestershire’s Integrated Sexual Health (ISH) service and the Pregnancy Advisory Service (PAS). ISH is a hub and spoke model whilst PAS is based at our hub (Hope House). To provide confidential and consistent contraception and sexual health services within nurse led clinics and alongside medical colleagues.
Responsibilities
Working as an Independent Practitioner, the role requires professional leadership – acting as a role model to junior staff and treating patients within Sexual Health, as well as acting as the Senior Nurse at clinics when required and deputising in the absence of the Lead Nurse.
