Staff Nurse

Job summary

This role is offered on a permanent basis. The hours are part-time, 22.5 hours per week.

Here at Stroud General Hospital we provide 16 inpatient beds delivering sub-acute care, rehabilitation and end of life care in a friendly, warm and welcoming environment.

An opportunity has arisen for a highly motivated individual to join the Nursing Team on our Inpatient Ward. We are looking for a nurse with passion and commitment who holds patient experience and care at the heart of their nursing practice and who shares our organisational values. All of this will feature largely in our short-listing and selection criteria. In return we will offer you day to day support along with excellent training and a real commitment to your personal development plan with opportunities for continued professional development and study.

Main duties of the job

We welcome applications from both experienced Registered Nurses or newly qualified nurses and can also consider applications from individuals who would only be available to work night shifts. There are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and further your career here at Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust.

If you are newly qualified, we are able to offer a supportive learning environment where you will be assigned a mentor who can help guide you through the first months of your nursing career. You will also be enrolled in our preceptorship programme which is the first step in developing your professional development.

For the more experienced nurse, we will support you in your clinical and managerial development to become a more autonomous practitioner, by providing access to academic programs. As a predominantly nurse led ward this means you will have greater autonomy and ultimately gain more job satisfaction by giving the best patient care.

As part of the nursing team you would work closely with the wider Multidisciplinary team including Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and Physiotherapists, allowing the care we deliver to be holistic and patient centred, we pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality care to our patients.

The qualification, training & experience requirements for the role are underlined in the Job Description/Person Specification.

About us

We have a skilled and dedicated workforce of over 5000 colleagues working in a diverse range of services over 55 sites and within people's homes. We strive to enable a welcoming workplace culture that builds and celebrates civility, inclusivity and diversity, while providing a sense of belonging and trust.

Annual staff surveys, regular Pulse surveys and other engagement opportunities provide our people with lots of opportunity to tell us about their experiences of working with us. In the latest staff survey, 61% of colleagues gave us their views. It was great to hear that:

• 72% of colleagues would recommend the Trust as a place to work, ranking us 1st for Provider Trusts in the South West region on this question.
• 76% would recommend the standard of care provided in our services if a friend or relative needed treatment, also ranking us 1st in the South West region.
• 81% said that care of patients and service users is the Trust's priority, compared with an average in comparable NHS Trusts in England of 64%.

This high-level overview shows we are in a healthy position, with higher scores than average for comparable organisations, alongside a great response rate, indicating good staff engagement. However, we also know we have plenty of room for improvement in many areas. To that end, we continue to prioritise and invest in our commitment to genuinely becoming a Great Place to Work with consistent top-quartile performance in the annual staff survey and Pulse surveys.
