Job Description: Band 5 Staff Nurse - Emergency Department
The Royal Surrey County Hospital Emergency Department sees approximately 75,000 patients every year. To support and enhance the care we provide to patients due to promotion, we are looking to recruit a dynamic and enthusiastic Band 5 staff nurse to join our busy team.
This is an exciting time to join the Emergency Department as we are currently undergoing a rebuild to enhance the patient’s journey through the department. We have introduced dynamic patient pathways to improve patient flow and experience, which has resulted in the vast improvement of the department’s performance. Our team is motivated, energetic, and we strive to deliver the highest standards of evidence-based nursing care. We are passionate about Emergency Nursing and the service we provide our local community.
Requirements
To apply for the Band 5 position, you must have at least 6 months of acute ward experience at Band 5, with evidence of continuing professional development.
You will have to demonstrate a working knowledge and understanding of current issues in emergency care within the NHS. The successful applicant must be able to work an internal rotation shift pattern of days and nights, be able to work in a fast-paced environment, possess good communication skills, and be able to use their own initiative.
