Job Details

Rheumatology Nurse Specialist

Location: Bedford

Salary: £33,222 - £43,041

Closing Date: Friday 31 May 2019

Circle Health is a company that runs hospitals and health services in the UK. We were founded in 2004, and we are different to most healthcare organisations we build independent hospitals which pioneered five-star hospitality in the UK, and we’re the only organisation running some innovative types of work in the NHS, like our Bedfordshire musculoskeletal contract.

Circle MSK operates a single hub for MSK services across the Bedfordshire region as a ‘prime contractor’. This places Circle in charge of organising the system and integrating all the providers around a central service. Any patient requiring treatment for MSK is referred to the hub for specialist triage by their GP; they are sent on to the right care. The patients are then offered choice over who provides the service, being able to choose which hospital they attend.

We are looking for a highly motivated and passionate individual who can work as part of our developing community Rheumatology service.  We are expanding our current services to include an Osteoporosis service. You will be joining a dynamic and evidence based service, working with Rheumatology consultants, GPs with special interest and extended scope physiotherapists.  This will be an innovative and forward thinking service, delivering exemplary patient care. You will be supporting the assessment and delivery of treatment and ongoing care for patients within this service.

We are seeking a driven individual to help support the development and expansion of this service, with innovation and best practice in mind.

Company

We help nurses and allied health professionals develop their careers in an exciting and encouraging environment.

Our hospitals and rehabilitation centres are high-tech facilities in purpose-built buildings, all built in the last decade or so. We’re passionate about providing the best patient experience, so we rethought how hospitals should work: our hospitals are much more peaceful and comfortable that people normally expect – patients say they feel like hotels.

We’ve always believed in creating a culture of partnership where each staff member is empowered and feels able to make a real difference, where the best management ideas from other sectors are added to best practice in healthcare, and where patients come first, above all else.

Circle Health is known for its innovation and culture. Because of these, our facilities attract some of the very best nurses and allied healthcare professionals. And we believe passionately in quality: all of Circle’s hospitals are rated “good” by the Care Quality Commission and our hospitals have, for example, never had a case of hospital-acquired MRSA.
