Summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and compassionate Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our 16‑bedded Enhanced Care Unit (ECU) on a 12 month secondment to cover maternity leave.

This is a fantastic development opportunity for nurses looking to expand their acute care skills. You will gain experience in a high‑acuity environment and contribute to a service that plays a vital role in patient safety and recovery.

Our ECU supports patients who require closer monitoring, enhanced observation, and more complex nursing interventions than a standard ward environment. You’ll be part of a skilled and supportive multidisciplinary team committed to delivering safe, high‑quality, person‑centred care.

• Interviews for this position will be held in person ONLY at the hospital site. Remote interviews will not be available.

• The validity of Nursing and Midwifery Council PIN will be checked before shortlisting (Only applicable to registered roles) - inaccuracies in NMC PIN details will mean your application will not be progressed.

• Interested candidates are encouraged to make contact with the Recruiting Manager to have an informal discussion about the role.

• Please ensure you have the permission of your current line manager before applying for a secondment opportunity

If you are currently employed by the Trust and you wish to apply for this role on a secondment basis, please seek permission from your current line manager before applying for the post.

• Undertaking timely and accurate clinical assessments, observations, and interventions.

• Escalating concerns appropriately and contributing to early recognition of deterioration.

• Working collaboratively with the MDT, including Critical Care Outreach, medical teams, and allied health professionals.

• Supporting junior staff and contributing to a positive learning environment.

• Maintaining excellent documentation and ensuring safe, effective handovers.

• Upholding Trust values and promoting a culture of safety, dignity, and continuous improvement.
