Main duties of the job
Acute Assessment Unit
Our new purpose built unit opened in April 2018 and sits beside our state of art Emergency Department. The Acute Assessment Unit (AAU) is a 43 bedded unit that cares for patients who require an urgent medical, surgical or orthopaedic assessment and short stay. The AAU works collaboratively with the emergency department and Ambulatory Care as an Urgent Care division to provide treatment to the acutely ill patient.
We require enthusiastic and motivated individuals to join and be a part of our multi-professional team, to work and grow in this very busy and challenging AAU. Opportunities exist to rotate to each area to provide a varied professional development and experiences within the field of Urgent Care.
You will be supported to maintain your professional developments through our Training and Education Centre, as well as being mentored and taught by our own Urgent Care Clinical Educator.
About us
We are always looking for enterprising and innovative approaches to the way we provide our services. We are a national centre for telemedicine and introduced telehealth to the UK offender healthcare sector and also provide the service to patients in their care homes. Community matters to us and we are supported by 400 dedicated volunteers and have strong links with Bradford University, Craven College and Leeds City College to ensure we inspire the workforce of the future.
We want to attract staff who embrace our 'Right Care' behaviours of compassion, a commitment to quality of care and working together for patients - we want to make these part of our DNA.
