Inpatient Staff Nurse - Loughborough

Job summary

Important note for applicants - the initial base for this post will be at Loughborough Hospital but the ward and staff will be moving back to Coalville Community Hospital in September 2024 when building works have been completed.

Are you looking for a new job opportunity in a dynamic, values led and supportive organisation? Does making a difference to patients and their families motivate and inspire you? If the answer is yes, this post could be the right career move for you.

We are seeking motivated and confident Staff Nurses to work on Gracedieu Ward at Loughborough Hospital. The ward is nurse led which will give you high levels of autonomy and satisfaction in delivering exceptional care to patients with sub-acute needs, supporting rehabilitation, undertaking complex discharge planning and increasing patient independence and quality of life. Our patient cohort is increasingly complex due to the need to facilitate transfer from acute trusts as soon as individuals are medically fit for discharge and to prevent admission from home to the secondary care sector.

You are welcome to visit one of the wards during the application process. If you would like to do so, please contact the name on this advert.

Free parking is available on site and there is a bus stop close by.

The Trust encourages a healthy work life balance & flexible working opportunities are available.
