Summary
Are you looking for an exciting new role? Do you want to enhance your acute surgical skills? Do you have a passion for exemplary care?
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a registered nurse to join our friendly and positive Trauma Orthopedic team on ward 32 at the LRI.
We are looking for someone who is motivated, enthusiastic, dynamic and compassionate. You will be joining a team that strives to provide the best care possible for our patients.
We provide an exciting nursing challenge offering you varied opportunities working alongside our fantastic ortho-geriatricians, discharge team, and wider multi-disciplinary teams. Giving you the opportunity to clinically develop and broaden and advance your expertise in a busy but supportive environment.
We are a 28 bedded unit that delivers specialist care to patients with neck of femur fractures, delivering pre and post operative holistic care until patients are optimized. We will support you every step of the way providing many opportunities of experience and the ability to advance. Once established, you will be supported to broaden your leadership skills and take charge, adding another layer of development. As an effective passionate nurse, you will work closely with the band 6’s and ward sister to ensure that standards are maintained, evaluated and where necessary improved. Knowledge in orthopedics' or a surgical background would be an advantage, but full training and support would be given so it would not be essential.

Work collaboratively and co-operatively with others to meet the needs of patients and their families.
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).
We have four primary goals:
high-quality care for all,
being a great place to work,
partnerships for impact, and
research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
• we are compassionate,
• we are proud,
• we are inclusive, and
we are one team
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
