Job overview
2x Full time Permanent post
We are looking to recruit a highly motivated and enthusiastic Band 5 Anesthetic practitioner with a recognised post graduate anesthetic nursing qualification or ODP qualification to join our dynamic anesthetic team at Queens Hospital BHRUT. You must have extensive anesthetic experience in various specialties in the perioperative field to become the successful candidate.
We have 16 operating theatres with various specialties including Neurosurgery, General Surgery, Vascular Surgery, ENT, Trauma, Gynaecology, Maxillo Facial, Pain and Obstetrics and work across two sites Queens Hospital and King Georges Hospital. You will be committed to clinical excellence, with effective communication, interpersonal and organisational skills. You should have a flexible approach to working hours.
For further information on this role, please see the attached detailed Job Description and Person Specification.
Main duties of the job
The post holder in liaison with the Team Leader is responsible for the assessment of care needs for all patients, ensuring appropriately planned care is implemented, evaluated and documented.
The post holder will demonstrate good communication skills achieved by experience within the specialty and act as an anaesthetic practitioner within the limitations of the post holder’s qualifications.
Working for our organisation
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
