Job Opportunity: Specialising in Leg Ulcer Management and Tissue Viability
Are you passionate about Leg Ulcer Management and Tissue Viability? Then we would like to hear from those who wish to specialise in this exciting field.
The Lower Limb Therapy Service has consistently improved outcomes for patients with ulceration, and we strive to empower patients by delivering holistic treatments that are effective and always tailored to individual needs.
About the Role
You should demonstrate a proven ability to deliver a high standard of care to patients. The successful candidate will possess excellent communication skills, the ability to manage and prioritise a caseload, whilst working as a member of the multi-disciplinary teams. Applicants need to be flexible and able to meet the challenges of working in a busy clinic-based setting.
Whilst previous experience is desirable, specialist training will be provided for the right applicants. Therefore a passion for healing patients with lower limb ulceration is absolutely essential. Continued Professional Development is an integral part of the LLTS, and we are a supportive, friendly and welcoming team.
Key Responsibilities
- To provide evidence-based specialist leg ulcer assessments and treatments, delivering high-quality care, support, advice, and information to patients and carers, ultimately enabling patients to enjoy maximum independence and optimum quality of life.
- Working together as part of a multidisciplinary and professional team to assess care needs, develop, implement and evaluate programmes of care.
- Offering specialist support/advice to community nursing teams for housebound patients.
