Job overview
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust Endoscopy Units are expanding our service and are looking for enthusiastic, motivated, innovative individuals with a keen interest in developing their career in Endoscopy. Due to an increase in demand for Endoscopy services, we are investing to grow our team to increase our ability to meet demands.
You will join a highly specialised team of professionals who deliver a high standard of patient centred care. We have a supportive culture for all staff and by joining us now, you can play a role in shaping our organisation that continues to put patient care first. Endoscopy is an ongoing developing speciality and so ongoing training and education
is offered to all staff.
Our team provides a full range of services including IBD, nutrition, ERCP, EUS, stenting, bowel cancer screening, capsule endoscopy, laser, GI physiology and viral hepatitis treatment. We are supported by excellent specialist nurses in IBD, nutrition, hepatology, capsule endoscopy and upper and lower GI cancer. We have close working relationships
with our upper and lower GI surgeons, oncologists and interventional radiologists.
The successful applicants will have excellent interpersonal and communication skills and ability to use their initiative.
Previous endoscopy experience would be excellent but this is not essential as training will be given to the successful applicant.
Part time requests are also welcome.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for individuals who value Passion, Responsibility, Innovation, Drive and Empowerment who will bring a continuous focus to high performance and quality of care, working collaboratively with colleagues and the wider team.
· To be responsible for individualised care of patients, through the endoscopy process
·
To provide and maintain a high standard of nursing care
· To assist with education and supervision of students
· To take an active role in the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of care of all patients undergoing an endoscopic procedure within the Clinical Diagnostic Unit.
Working for our organisation
Under the leadership of our Chair Jacqui Smith and Matthew Trainer, our Chief Executive, we provide care for the residents of three of the most diverse London boroughs. More than half of our 7,500 strong workforce are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups and most live in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge. We also provide healthcare services to people in south west Essex, and specialist neurosciences services to the whole of the county.
Our services include all the major specialties of large acute hospitals, operating from two main sites - King George Hospital in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We also provide outpatient services at Brentwood Community Hospital, Barking Hospital, Loxford Polyclinic, and Harold Wood Polyclinic. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London.
As we recover from Covid-19, we’re proud to be leading the way nationally in reducing the time our patients wait to get the treatment they need. The pandemic provided the drive for our teams to innovate and change.
We know we have more work to do to improve waiting times for urgent and emergency care, and our performance against the four-hour emergency access standard remains challenged, in comparison to many other London trusts.
We are particularly proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre; Radiotherapy Centre; Hyper Acute Stroke Unit; and dedicated breast care service at King George Hospital. We’re also pleased to be part of the NEL Cancer Alliance.
