Sister/Charge Nurse

NHS Blood and Transplant

Northwich Team (C/o Liverpool Blood Centre)

£28,050 - £36,644 per annum pro rata

Permanent/ Part Time - 54 hours per fortnight

Ref: 918-BN3868

Have you ever thought about where the blood that you transfuse comes from? Are you thinking of taking a new direction in your nursing career? Looking for a change? If so come and work for us.

NHS Blood and Transplant collects over 7,000 blood donations every day providing vital blood and blood products that help to save and improve the lives of thousands of people every year. We are dedicated to making a difference and we need your help to do so.

We save lives but we don’t work in hospitals. No two days are the same in this fast moving and variable environment. We collect blood from donors in Donor Centres and also travel to where our donors are in mobile teams.

As a Sister/Charge Nurse in this autonomous role, you will lead and motivate a team of donor carers (similar to Health Care Support staff), use your clinical judgement to make safe decisions about suitability and ensure your team deliver a high standard of care that enables us to meet our regulatory and governance requirements. We need your leadership and management skills to ensure that patients receive safe blood and blood products and our donors feel safe and cared for. By giving the best experience we can for our donors, you will ensure they will want to return time and time again.

No prior specialist knowledge is required for this band 6 role; we value what you bring. If you are able to work independently, lead with compassion and resilience, excited by the prospect of enabling change in a fast-moving environment, then this is the job for you. We will provide all the training and support you will need with excellent learning and development opportunities and career progression.

The normal working hours for this role are 54 hours per fortnight, which equates to 6 shifts per fortnight working up to 9 hours per shift. The earliest usual start time would be 08:00. If you were working a late shift, the latest usual finish time would be 22:00. These working hours may include weekends and bank holiday working. The usual working hours may also vary during busy times and public holidays.

An informal visit is highly recommended.  For an informal discussion about this role or to arrange a visit, please contact Ruth Patterson, Senior Sister, at Ruth.Patterson@nhsbt.nhs.uk

Closing date: 11.59pm on 30 January 2019

Interview date: 11 February 2019, subject to confirmation.
