Job summary

Band 5 Staff Nurse Breast Services

Fixed term 12 months contract. Part time 30 hours per week.

Are you an enthusiastic, hardworking individual who wants to be part of a dynamic busy team?

We have a vacancy of a fixed term 12 month contract to cover maternity leave.

The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we aren't in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.

Main duties of the job

Our nursing team has developed our own Nurse-led Clinics; patient pre-assessment and wound care clinics and also a new nipple tattooing service. A comprehensive induction programme will be offered to you to extend your clinical skills and communication with Breast Patients.

You should be able to work well as part of team and be able to use your own initiative when required. Good communication skills are essential as you will be working with patients, their relatives and other members of the health care team.

Experience of working within a Breast unit or an outpatient environment would be an advantage.

We are dedicated to the on-going development of our staff, you will work closely with Breast Consultants and the MDT, and the trust can offer you a wide range of opportunities for personal and professional growth within our Breast Services Team. (time dependant)
