Summary
Are you ready for a new challenge and the opportunity to truly develop your clinical practice?
We’re looking for a motivated, enthusiastic, and experienced cardiology nurse to join our small, friendly team of Heart Failure Specialist Nurses at an exciting time of service expansion.
• Are you a Band 5 nurse looking to step into a more autonomous role, building confidence and advanced skills within a supportive team?
• Are you a Band 6 nurse ready for the next challenge, keen to gain community experience and be part of the evolving Hospital at Home model?
If you thrive on variety, enjoy learning, and want to play a key role in shaping a growing service, this could be the perfect opportunity for you.
We’re a small, close knit, and supportive team who pride ourselves on working collaboratively and looking after one another.
We work closely with a wider multidisciplinary team, including cardiology consultants and a specialist pharmacist, to provide seamless, high quality care.
Currently, we cover the Calderdale community, with each team member spending one day per week reviewing inpatients remotely across CRH and HRI.
You will bring confidence in cardiology, with a sound understanding of heart failure and its management. We are committed to supporting your development and offer a wide range of learning opportunities, including:
• Heart Failure Diploma
• Independent Non Medical Prescribing
• Advanced patient assessment
• A variety of additional courses tailored to your learning needs
You will work autonomously, managing your own time and caseload to deliver high quality care to patients with heart failure. This includes:
• Initial assessment
• Medication optimisation
• Ongoing education and support to promote self management
One day per week will be dedicated to reviewing inpatients at Calderdale Royal Hospital (CRH) and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary (HRI) (currently completed remotely).
As our Hospital at Home service develops, the team will provide care 7 days a week, 8am–8pm, and you’ll have the exciting opportunity to help shape and influence the future direction of this service.
You will receive a supernumerary period and ongoing support from an established Heart Failure Specialist Nurse, ensuring you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
We employ more than 6,500 staff who deliver compassionate care from our two main hospitals, Calderdale Royal Hospital and Huddersfield Royal Infirmary as well as in community sites, health centres and in patients’ homes. We also are incredibly proud to have almost 150 volunteers here at CHFT.
We provide a range of services including urgent and emergency care; medical; surgical; maternity; gynaecology; critical care; children’s and young people’s services; end of life care and outpatient and diagnostic imaging services.
We provide community health services, including sexual health services in Calderdale from Calderdale Royal and local health centres. These include Todmorden Health Centre and Broad Street Plaza.
We continue to modernise and invest in our health services to build on our strong reputation. Foundation trusts are public leaders in improving quality in health services. They are part of the NHS – yet decisions about what they do and how they do it are driven by independent boards. Boards listen to their Council of Governors and respond to the needs of their members – patients, staff and the local community.
Foundation trusts provide what the health service wants, yet are also free to invest quickly in the changes to the local community needs, in striving to be the best, and in putting their patients first.
Please see the job description and person specification below for full details about the role.
If you’re interested in applying or would like to learn more about working in our team, we’d be happy to hear from you.
