This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic and motived Registered Nurse to become part of our team to gain invaluable experience and insight into this specialist area of nursing. Providing you with the opportunities to work across hospital and community settings in Northumberland and North Tyneside, with a multi discipline team approach.
The post-holder will have an interest of caring for patients with a variety of feeding tubes, such as PEGs and Naso-Gastric feeding tubes. The experienced and well-established team will support with competency development and confidence in this specialist area.
The post holder will work with colleagues and stake holders to identify areas for quality improvements to further develop pathways and they will train and care for patients living with enteral feeding tubes long term.
This is a great opportunity to develop knowledge and skills, working collaboratively with many specialities and members of the MDT.

Please note we reserve the right to close this vacancy prior to the closing date once the required number of suitable applications have been received.
Your case load will include patients with all types of feeding tubes, across outpatient clinics, home visits, Emergency Department and hospital wards. Your focus will be to ensure that feeding tubes are the right choice for that patient, they are working and the patient knows how to look after them at home safely.
Day to day you will be responsible for routine and urgent replacement of feeding tubes e.g. when a tube has fallen out unexpectedly. This may include co-ordinating with teams across the Trust regarding admissions when needed.
You will work collaboratively with MDTs from different specialities, building up working relationships, to become the contact for feeding tube related issues.
The post holder will also assess training needs, updating training packages, resources and delivering training relating to enteral feeding tubes across Northumbria Trust as needed.
You will be an active member of the wider Nutrition and Dietetic team, and a role model for specialist Nursing and compassionate leadership.

Do you want to work in one of the best performing NHS organisations in England? Work in an organisation that supports its staff and focuses on staff experience as much as it does the experience of its patients? You can live and breathe in an area that has the cleanest air, cost effective living, great nightlife, some of the best schools with a wealth of history available on your doorstep. Sound too good to be true? Well it isn’t, this is what you get when you work for Northumbria Healthcare, this is the Northumbria Way!
