TB Nurse
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated, enthusiastic and innovative individual to join our Tuberculosis (TB) Nursing Team on a 6-month secondment.
While previous experience in TB is not essential, you will be able to demonstrate a keen interest in this specialist field. You will provide valuable support to patients receiving care from the TB team and act as a role model for staff working outside the specialist service.
You must possess excellent interpersonal skills, along with the drive, vision and initiative to motivate others and help meet the demands of the service. You will have experience in maintaining patient records and databases and an understanding of current TB care pathways.
In addition to being a qualified nurse, the successful candidate will demonstrate excellent IT and computer skills, including proficiency in Microsoft Office applications, and a genuine enthusiasm for the TB speciality.
Experience in clinical audit and data collection is desirable. You must be able to communicate effectively with colleagues, patients and stakeholders at all levels, manage your own caseload effectively, and work independently while contributing positively as part of a multidisciplinary team. You will also be expected to participate in ongoing audit and service improvement programmes.
