The Role in Practice
You will provide safe, person-centred care throughout the patient journey, including pre-operative preparation, post-operative recovery, rehabilitation and discharge planning. You will gain experience in orthopaedic trauma, frailty, dementia and delirium care, rehabilitation and complex discharge planning.
Working closely with our multidisciplinary team, you will assess, plan, deliver and evaluate care, recognise and respond to deterioration, promote patient safety and support patients to regain their independence.
We are looking for an NMC-registered nurse with excellent communication skills, compassion and a commitment to delivering high-quality care. Previous orthopaedic or older-person care experience is welcomed but not essential, as support and development will be provided.
