Summary

We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 6 Endometriosis Nurse Specialistto join the Women’s Health Gynaecology Team at University Hospitals Dorset (UHD).

UHD is a specialist Endometriosis Centre of Excellence, providing care for patients with severe and complex endometriosis, including those requiring joint surgery with gynaecology and colorectal and teams.

This is a varied and rewarding role for a Registered Nurse looking to develop their career in specialist gynaecology. The role combines your own patient clinics and caseload with coordination of the Endometriosis MDT, preparation of patients for complex surgery and the organisation needed to keep their pathway moving.

You will be the dedicated Endometriosis Nurse Specialist and work with a high level of autonomy, while being well supported by our endometriosis consultants and the wider team of Gynaecology Nurse Specialists.

We are looking for someone who is compassionate, organised and confident working independently, with excellent communication skills and a genuine interest in developing specialist endometriosis care.

This is an exciting time to join UHD, with opportunities to develop your specialist skills and contribute to the future development of the service.

Base location: Poole Hospital, with weekly cross-site working at Bournemouth Hospital.

Interview date: Friday 9th October - Afternoon

The Endometriosis Nurse Specialist has a varied and autonomous role, combining specialist patient care with the coordination of complex endometriosis pathways.

You will manage your own caseload through nurse-led clinics, providing information, advice and support to patients from investigation and diagnosis through to treatment, surgery and follow-up.

A key part of the role is coordinating the Severe Endometriosis Multidisciplinary Team (MDT), working closely with endometriosis consultants and colleagues across gynaecology, colorectal surgery and urology to support well-planned, joined-up care.

You will coordinate patients requiring complex endometriosis surgery, ensuring they are prepared and supported throughout their surgical pathway. UHD runs two joint endometriosis theatre lists across its sites, so strong organisation, communication and attention to detail are essential. The role includes a significant administrative element alongside direct patient care.

As the dedicated Endometriosis Nurse Specialist, you will work autonomously while being part of a supportive team of Gynaecology Nurse Specialists and the wider MDT.

The role also offers opportunities to contribute to patient education, service improvement and the continued development of the UHD endometriosis service.

UHD are investing, developing and transforming Trust services in line with the New Hospital Programme. As part of this, some services may move site this year or next, either temporarily or permanently. Recruiting Managers will be happy to answer any service-specific questions at interview.

If a role or service relocates as part of a planned move, excess mileage will not be reimbursed. Travel from home to the new work base will be classed as a normal commute. Any other changes will be managed under Trust or national terms and conditions.

UHD has active networks including Women’s, DEN, Pride, EU, Pro Ability, and Armed Forces. We support Disability Confident and Armed Forces Covenant interview schemes.

AI tools may be used, but applications must honestly reflect your own skills and experience. Integrity is key to our recruitment process
