Job Advert
Applicants are invited to join our enthusiastic and innovative team within Glasgow Royal Infirmary Intensive Care Unit/High Dependency service. Due to the uncertainty of this current time there is an expectation that the successful candidate will appreciate the need for adaptability to meet the needs of the Critical Care service. Critical Care covers level 2 and 3 patients and regular rotation between all areas is encouraged and will be required in coming months to meet the demands of the evolving situation.
The Intensive Care and High Dependency Units care for a defined patient group who require complex interventions in the form of ventilatory support – invasive/ non invasive, cardiovascular support and renal support. Glasgow Royal Infirmary also provides ICU/HDU tertiary support for the specialities of Burns and Plastics; Pancreatitis and specialist Orthopaedic services. We are seeking motivated individuals who strive to deliver patient centred care competently with an emphasis on the progression of service. Successful candidates will be offered a 12 month Competency Based Programme. On completion of this programme there will be a personalised self development plan including the Critical Care Course which is accredited by Glasgow Caledonian University. There is also supported funding for management SVQ courses, NES courses and Masters at West of Scotland University.
As well as having current NMC registration it is also essential you have evidence of continual professional development, basic IT skills, good communication skills and enthusiasm for working in a Critical Care environment.
There is an established Quality Initiative programme surrounding patient centred care so you should be a candidate with a “can do” attitude who will embrace change. Consideration will be given to all candidates who demonstrate an interest and enthusiasm for developing a career in critical care and we would be especially interested in attracting candidates with previous Critical Care experience.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde encourages applications from all sections of the community. We promote a culture of inclusion across the organisation and are proud of the diverse workforce we have.
