Summary

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

Job Title: Staff Nurse (Cath Lab Day Unit)

Contract Type: Permanent

This is an exciting opportunity to join our team as a highly motivated, experienced Nurse to join the cardiac catheter lab day unit.  The Cath Lab Day Unit is open from 07:15 to 21:00, Monday to Friday, and supports a wide range of cardiovascular and thoracic day case admissions, through recovery and nurse led discharge. 

This is a part-time position. The successful candidate will be expected to work a range of shifts to meet the needs of the service.

As one of the largest acute teaching Trusts in England, we offer learning and development opportunities to help you achieve the career you aspire to. UHS is rated ‘Good’ by the CQC and in the latest national NHS Staff Survey, we were in the top 10 acute trusts for staff engagement and for staff recommending the hospital as a place to work or receive care.

We support flexible working and will consider requests taking into account the needs of the service. UHS employees are able to access a range of NHS discounts, are entitled to a minimum of 35 days paid holiday (pro rata), and we offer a generous pension scheme.

Southampton is an attractive place to live and work situated on the south coast, with an international airport and direct trains to London. The New Forest National Park and beaches of the Jurassic coast are also right on our doorstep. The city offers living costs 30% lower than London and 17 schools rated outstanding by Ofsted.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

In this role, your key responsibilities will include;

You will work as part of a MDT and will be responsible for promoting high standards of nursing care which requires good communication to assist with the elective patient journey through the catheter labs and theatres.  You will be caring for a range of patients undergoing a wide variety of procedures from admission, pre and post procedure care, GA recovery, and nurse led discharge.  This will include cardiology, vascular, IR and thoracic patients and full training will be given in these specialities.  

The cardiac catheter lab and day unit is committed to education, and you will have the opportunity to attend the in-house Introduction to Cardiovascular Nursing course in addition to the opportunity to attend national conferences relating to Cardiology. 

What we are looking for: 

We are looking for enthusiastic, passionate and ambitious nurses who have good initiative, great communication, enjoy change and expressing new ideas as well as delivering exemplary care. 

We would strongly recommend that you visit the department to gain a full understanding of the services we provide here for our patients.
