This is an ideal secondment opportunity, however you must seek approval from your current manager that they can release you from your current position

The opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic and motivated Band 7 Senior Sister to join the vascular l team to cover maternity leave.

We believe this is an extraordinarily exciting time to join a team embarking on an innovative transformation and implementation of a shared single vascular service across West Yorkshire. This should give opportunities to contribute to pathways of care, and introduce new ways of working and technologies, with the ultimate aim of delivering outstanding care to our population.

We believe this change will allow for future research, education, rotation, and working differently experiencing a wider range of Nursing opportunities.

Ward 26 is currently a busy 28 bedded mixed sex vascular surgical unit, supporting patients with complex vascular conditions. It has a multidisciplinary focus and works alongside the teams in Leg Ulcer Clinic and outpatients.

Through the West Yorkshire Association of Acute Trusts (WYAAT) the below five Trusts have agreed an ambitious programme to create a shared single vascular service to provide safe, effective, patient focused, outstanding care across West Yorkshire in the form of the West Yorkshire Vascular Service (WYVaS). This dynamic and ambitious move will make us one of the largest vascular services in the country covering 2.4m people.

Main duties of the job

The appointee will work alongside a strong, cohesive, and well established team. Our work to develop a true single service is testament to our commitment to this innovative change, development of new ways of working, and the strength of relationships.

The applicant will have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, to provide an effective and high quality patient focused service, with a clear understanding of the issues in relation to the management of vascular patients.

You must be enthusiastic and passionate about delivering high standards of patient centred care ensuring patients receive seamless care in partnership with the multi-disciplinary team both across organisational and professional boundaries.

It is essential that you have a good understanding of the challenges in relation to vascular services and the skills required to support patients, families and carers following an emergency or elective procedure. You must also demonstrate excellent clinical leadership skills, a strong team management approach and be open to developing and progressing new ideas and innovative ways of working.
