Job Summary

Patients are at the heart of what we do.

We are a compassionate and collaborative clinical team based within a modern facility in picturesque Somerset. We are currently sourcing for a Part Time RGN to join our Pre-Assessment team. Whether you are local to the area or require assistance with relocation we’d love to hear from you.

Care UK Treatment Centres are patient focused and work closely with local CCGs and NHS Trusts to reduce waiting times. Our Wards often evidence great nurse to patient ratios and Shepton Mallet NHS Treatment Centre has been rated Outstanding by CQC -  putting it at the very top of the regulator’s quality ratings across England.

 Our unfaltering dedication to quality is something about which we are very proud; we constantly strive to do things better for our patients. This ethos has led to innovative, evidence based developments to our procedures and ongoing improvements to the patient experience.

Who are we looking for?

If you are a dedicated NMC registered Nurse with experience within a Pre-Assessment Department and evidenced knowledge of acute surgical care provision, or the desire to learn we would love to hear from you. A passion for improving the treatment of your patients is a must.

The post holder will be required to work approximately 15 hours per week.  There are no night shifts within this department and a few evenings, Saturdays and Bank Holidays.  Shift  times can also be flexible, meaning this is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to regain some work/life balance.

This role would be best suited to a nurse with some post qualification experience in a similar Department but full training will be provided.

The successful candidate will organise and undertake pre-admission screening of selected patients ensuring they are fit for surgery at the given site on the date allocated, taking the lead on developing the pre-assessment process to be nurse led where appropriate.

In return for your hard work you will receive…

  • A competitive salary of up to £28,800 pro rata dependant on experience contributory pension scheme, 25 days annual leave per annum plus Bank Holidays
  • CPD and revalidation support
  • Clinical Development and Training Opportunities. We could even give you the opportunity to develop into a specialist role of your interest
  • Care UK Perks including Childcare Vouchers, Cycle to Work Scheme and retail discounts
  • A relocation allowance for nurses looking to relocate to the area
