The role offers the opportunity to undertake specialist continence assessments, develop treatment plans, provide continence management advice, and support patients to achieve the best possible outcomes.

Our service provides care through a combination of clinic-based appointments and home visits, enabling us to deliver flexible and holistic care to patients within their communities.

Candidates must have post-preceptorship experience and completed preceptorship in the UK.

Please note this post is not suitable for applicants who are required to undertake the OSCE training programme. Applicants who do not have current valid UK NMC registration will not be considered for this post.

About Us

The Bladder and Bowel Service is part of the UHCW Community Services Group, providing services across Coventry and supporting the delivery of integrated care within local neighbourhoods. As services continue to evolve, this role offers the opportunity to contribute to innovative ways of working and to be part of shaping future community services.
