## Job Content

### Job overview

Here at The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust we are passionate about delivering the highest quality care to all our patients. In order to help us achieve this, we are looking for enthusiastic, motivated and committed band 6 A&E registered nurses to join our temporary staffing bank.

As a trust bank A&E nurse you will be able to choose a flexible working pattern to suit your work life balance in either of our two emergency departments working as part of a committed multidisciplinary team.

The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust is a high performing Trust with some of the best clinical outcomes in the country.

**VISA SPONSORSHIP DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS ROLE**

### Main duties of the job

Working shifts as a bank registered A&E nurse across either of our two emergency departments as part of the multidisciplinary team, to deliver the highest quality care to our patients, in line with our trust values.

As an accountable registered A&E nurse you will be responsible for delivering excellent care to patients attending the emergency department, providing assessment and total patient care in a fast paced environment.

Clinical duties, include acute medical and surgical assessment, managing deteriorating patients, supporting patients with mental health needs, working across all areas of the department including majors, minors, resuscitation, triage, utilising your assessment skills, phlebotomy and cannulation, recording ECG and cardiac monitoring.

You will also be required to provide guidance and support to junior staff.

### Detailed job description and main responsibilities

The post holder is responsible for the assessment of care needs and the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care with the multidisciplinary team and patients’ families.

He / She is designated to take charge of the Department in the absence of the person who has continuing responsibility.

He/she is expected to supervise junior staff and to teach qualified and unqualified staff.

As part of the Accident and Emergency Nursing Team, in the event of a major incident being declared, it is expected that the post holder will support and respond as requested by the department.

As part of our continued response to COVID19, we are closely following Department of Health and Social Care's (DHSC) guidance and the government’s proposals for new mandatory COVID-19 vaccination legislation.  This means that full COVID19 vaccination will be a condition of employment in all NHS roles which have face-to-face contact with patients and service users from 1 April 2022 unless exempt.  This also means that by 3 February 2022 all such staff will need to have had their first COVID19 vaccination.  We expect the need to be vaccinated to apply to the vast majority of roles, although this may not be a requirement in some limited, exceptional circumstances. Should your role be identified as being within the scope of the legislation, you will be required to provide evidence of your vaccination status (or a legitimate exemption from these requirements) as a condition of your employment.
