Barking Havering and Redbridge University NHS Trusts (BHRUT) is one of the largest acute trusts in the country and the biggest provider of acute healthcare services in NHS North East London and the City (NELC). Our dedicated workforce of 6,500 staff and volunteers serve our local population of around 750,000, from a wide range of social and ethnic groups.
We are seeking for a band 6 charge nurse to join our team on Sahara B. Sahara B is a 30 bedded regional neurosurgical ward for essex, providing care to patients with brain & spinal conditions. You will work & be apart of our large multi disciplinary team. We are looking for an individual to help support our nursing team in the delivery of high quality nursing care, if you are reliable, organised and a good team player then we want to hear from you.
The CNS will act as a specialist resource and keyworker, providing expert nursing knowledge, information, advice and support to patients and their families throughout their diagnosis, treatment and follow up of brain and central nervous system tumours.
The Clinical Nurse Specialist will have an integral role in ensuring the continuity and further development of a quality driven service to all patients admitted for assessment, observation, surgical and oncological management of brain and spine tumours.
They will provide continuity of care via nurse led clinics and specialist follow up, and in time become an invaluable educational resource in their specialist field.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with. We’re no longer in special measures; we’ve opened two new theatres at our Elective Surgical Hub in King George Hospital (KGH); and, in recognition of our progress, we’ve been shortlisted for Trust of the Year at the Health Service Journal Awards.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 330,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
Our patients are benefitting from our Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub.
These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week and are providing an extra 94,000 scans a year.
The majority of our 8,000 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
We’re looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record that will be transformative for our staff and beneficial for our patients.
