If you have a passion for providing a high level of quality and compassionate care to patients and be a part of an exciting journey within emergency surgical nursing then this is the job for you. You will be supported in your personal development and be encouraged to learn new skills with the support of your Ward Manager and Practice Development Nurse for the surgical floor. ### Main duties of the job Registered Nursing Associates support the provision of holistic, person-centred care and support for people of all ages, across the lifespan and in a variety of settings. The nursing associate works independently – within the remit of the role – to assess, plan, implement and evaluate; undertaking aspects of care delegated by registered nurses and registered allied health professionals.  The nursing associate has a breadth of knowledge across the “four pillars” of nursing practice: Clinical Practice, Facilitating Learning, Leadership and Research/Audit awareness. Nursing associates are accountable. Equipped with the appropriate knowledge, skills and behaviours relevant to employment, they will work to a nationally recognised code of conduct defined by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) to which they are registered. Nursing associates will work effectively as part of an inter-professional environment, contributing to a safe and excellent patient/service user experience. Nursing Associates will promote the health and wellbeing of patients/service users across all health and care settings – making every contact count. Integral to all of this is the ability to communicate  effectively – adopting the Trust’s CARE values with sensitivity and compassion, and to manage relationships with people. In pursuing these duties the post holder will ensure adherence to NMC standards, Trust policy and protocol, Trust policy updates and the NHS Constitution. ### Detailed job description and main responsibilities For a comprehensive list of responsibilities and duties, please kindly refer to the Job Description and Person Specification by downloading the JD and PS attachment in the advert.
