Trosolwg o'r swydd

The Norwich Triage team currently has a fixed term vacancy for a Community Triage Nurse.

The Triage Hub is the starting point of the patient journey into community services, we take great pride in our work and always aim to do the best for our patients. We are looking for someone who holds the same values and wants to be part of a diverse and supportive team.

We are a small and friendly team of nurses who triage patient referrals from across the Norwich area, assessing the patient’s needs and determining the priority of care. The Community Triage Nurse is a pivotal role within the Triage Hub and is essential in ensuring patient flow across the service.

Prif ddyletswyddau'r swydd

You should be competent and have evidence-based knowledge of a wide array of nursing interventions to be able to triage effectively. Supporting and coaching patients via telephone is also part of the role, therefore proficient telephone and IT skills are important. Although experience of Triage would be an advantage, it is not essential, as full training will be provided. The role allows for development of enhanced assessment skills with clinical judgement being at the forefront.

Apply now to join an organisation that has been awarded an Outstanding rating by the Care Quality Commission (CQC), the highest possible rating and the first stand-alone NHS community trust in the country to be awarded the title

Although the role is predominantly office based working in the Triage Hub, triaging planned nursing visits and visits requiring an urgent community response, the role does allow for clinical time which can be spent delivering care to patients in their own homes or in clinic environments. We are keen to help grow and develop our staff, with many training and learning opportunities available for those working at NCH&C.

For full job description and person specification please see attached documents. If you are interested in the above please do get in touch, informal discussion about the role is always welcome.
