Critical Care (HDU & ICU) at Royal Alexandra Hospital
All Posts will be based within the Clyde Sector of NHSGGC
There are permanent rotational 34.5hr, 37.5hr contracts
Clyde Sector has Band 5 registered nurse vacancies in Critical Care at the Royal Alexandra Hospital.
Critical Care at the Royal Alexandra Hospital incorporates a new purpose build Intensive Care Unit (2019) and one of the busiest High Dependency Units in Scotland located adjacent to each other to create a combined critical care area. Due to the expansion in our service, there are now further opportunities for Band 5 Registered Nurses to join our team.
This is an exciting opportunity for Registered Nurses to work in our dynamic and fast paced Critical Care area. Our critical care multidisciplinary teams care for both emergency and elective patients across a variety of medical and surgical specialities. We work in partnership to provide a high level of specialist care pathways and closer nursing observations for critically ill patients. Successful candidates will work in a busy and challenging environment to ensure a high standard of person centred care is delivered to critically ill patients with one or more organ failure requiring organ support, specialist care and closer nursing observations. You will be part of a team delivering care from admission to discharge from critical care and as patient’s needs differ, you will be required to tailor your approach to a broad range of individuals and circumstances to meet the patients’ needs. We are looking for caring, compassionate and motivated registered nurses to join our team. Whilst critical care experience is desirable, we are also seeking candidates with acute nursing experience, good communication skills and the ability to work as part of a multidisciplinary team. As a service we will support you to continuously develop. With support of our Practice Educators you will benefit from access to the right development and support through a strong educational and quality improvement ethos. Successful candidates will be based in one of our critical care units, with the opportunity to rotate to the other area for professional development and educational opportunities. Candidate’s preference will be taken into consideration.
Candidates must have current NMC registration.
