About the Role
The Neurosurgical Team has recently expanded and is located in Brighton. We offer a full range of Neurosurgical and Neurovascular services and also support poly trauma.
It's an extremely exciting time with our move to the Louisa Martindale building. Not only is this a purpose-built ward, it creates extra opportunities for development. The Louisa Martindale Building is the newest clinical building in NHS England and the first stage of the 3Ts Redevelopment offering state-of-the-art accommodation for 28 outpatient, ward, and specialist services across its 11 floors.
This 38-bedded ward cares for a wide range of patients requiring brain and spinal surgery, as well as ENT and Maxillofacial surgery. This post will appeal to you if you enjoy working in a very busy and dynamic environment.
Requirements
- Completed a post-registration course in neurosciences
- Several years' recent acute experience in a neuroscience setting
- Extensive complex airway management skills
- Mentorship qualification, Practice Assessor qualification, or working towards this
- Motivated to develop yourself and other staff within the team
