Staff Nurse - Orthopaedics

Job overview

Are you a compassionate and motivated Registered Nurse looking to make a real difference in patient care?

We are seeking a dedicated nurse to join our dynamic orthopaedic and trauma department at Salford Royal Hospital, part of The Northern Care Alliance NHS Foundation Trust (NCA), where you will play a vital role in delivering high-quality, patient-centred care within a supportive and collaborative environment.

Due to the current skill mix within the department, it is essential that candidates have proven post-registration experience, preferably within a surgical, orthopaedic and/or trauma environment.

Our vision is to deliver outstanding, high-quality care while shaping and developing a highly motivated workforce.

We are looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate nurse who shares our values and commitment to excellence to join our dedicated team. This is an exciting opportunity to become part of a service with vision, drive and ambition, where your skills, ideas and professional development will be truly valued.

Main duties of the job

In this role, you will use your clinical expertise to assess, plan, deliver and evaluate care for a designated group of patients, while contributing to the overall care and well being of all patients on the ward/unit. You will support the day-to-day organisation of the ward, maintain effective communication across the multidisciplinary team, and provide guidance and encouragement to junior colleagues.

This is an excellent opportunity for a nurse who is passionate about professional development and leadership, as you will also contribute to the supervision, teaching and assessment of learners and unregistered staff, acting as a role model and named supervisor.

If you are committed to delivering outstanding care, thrive in a fast-paced environment, and are eager to support and develop others, we would love to hear from you.

Detailed job description and main responsibilities

This vacancy is open to those who have a current NMC PIN to practice as a Registered Nurse in the UK. Please note an NMC PRN Pin is not a full NMC Pin and would not fulfil the essential criteria for this role.
