Job overview
This is a FIXED TERM CONTRACT for 12 months to cover maternity leave.
Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CFT) is excited to offer opportunities for Staff Nurse within our Community and Assessment Treatment Unit (CATU) and Same day emergency care (SDEC) which is one of the many ways the NHS is working to provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time for patients.
Patients are admitted direct for assessment from home or emergency department . It aims to benefit both patients and the healthcare system by reducing waiting times and hospital admissions, where appropriate.
Do you enjoy acute nursing and dynamic patient flow? The CATU & SDEC model is an innovative and dynamic patient pathway of which a key aspect is the assessment of the acute patient and treatment of symptoms aiming to return the patient on the same day to their home with the right support. You will be empowered to utilise a range of nursing skills (supported by training) to support patients through a clinical assessment, and ongoing treatment.
You should possess commitment to team working and innovative delivery of excellent standards of care. You will need to be able to demonstrate a real enthusiasm for using extended skills and a desire for on-going professional development.
Main duties of the job
You will be empowered to utilise a range of nursing skills to support patients through a clinical admission, assessment, and ongoing treatment.
There will be opportunities to lead patient care, taking on differing nursing roles on the unit such as the day case referrals and ensuring that patient care is kept to a high standard.
Working for our organisation
We’re an NHS community and mental health provider Trust based in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. We deliver community and hospital-based care to improve people’s physical and mental health. We also provide specialist support to people with dementia or a learning disability.
We are a people organisation and people matter to us. As part of the team, you’ll help support the health and wellbeing of the people who live and visit this beautiful part of the UK.
Over 4,000 people make up the Trust. This includes doctors, nurses, therapists, plus admin and support staff.
We work in people’s homes, in community clinics and bases. Some staff work from one of our 13 community hospitals. Our aspiration is to have great people, provide great care, be a great place to work and a great partner.
Approximately 568,000 people live here. A third of people who live in Cornwall are supported by acute hospital services in Devon. As a result, we also work closely with our partners in Devon. In the summer, and during other holidays lots of people choose to visit the area. This increase the numbers of people who use out services.
