At Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust we understand that our staff are our most valuable asset. We have embarked upon an exciting journey to develop our services. As an ambitious organisation we are continuously looking for ways to enhance and improve the services we offer to our local populations to meet the needs of patients.
St Mawes are excited to be able to offer a post to an Nurse Associate to help on the ward.
This is a 37.5 hours per week role. However part-time opportunities are also available. Hours: Monday to Friday 7am - 3pm.
The Nursing Associate has a breath of knowledge across the lifespan and across fields of nursing, providing holistic and person centred care, and support people of all ages in a variety of settings. Nursing Associates are equipped with the knowledge, understanding, skills, attitudes and behaviours relevant to their area of employment and will work to the NMC Code of Conduct.
Sustainability is integral to the Trust achieving the NHS Net Zero target. All staff are therefore actively encouraged and supported to implement new ways of working within their field of expertise.
Work as a member of the multi professional team providing clinical care to patients in the home and community clinic settings as delegated by the registered nurse or registered health care professional.
Ensure a high standard of patient-centred care.
Promote self-management of health needs and adopt a positive risk based care approach.
Carry out all relevant forms of care, without direct supervision, and may be required to demonstrate simple procedures to registered and/or non-registered staff undertaking training where agreed with the nursing team.
Nursing Associates can deliver complex care, defined as patients with complex care needs with a combination of multiple chronic conditions, mental health issues, medication-related problems, and social vulnerability if a specific protocol has been written for that group of employees in that particular setting.
St Mawes Ward is an acute general surgical ward. We are looking for an organised person to help provide quality care to our patients.
