Band 5 Registered Nurses (RN) - are you looking for an exciting opportunity to develop your career? There is great scope for the Registered Nurse role within our dermatology nursing team, as the specialty offers so many opportunities for career development
Main duties of the job
If you have a passion for dermatology, are enthusiastic and motivated, with a desire to provide excellent patient care, please consider joining our nursing team in C04 Dermatology Surgical Unit and Dermatology Outpatients. In the Dermatology Outpatient Department we have general and specialist clinics, day treatment, wound clinics, skin allergy testing and much more. As an RN there is scope to work across all areas of our services, and is a fantastic opportunity for someone keen to develop a career within the specialty. On C4 we undertake dermatological surgery, which ranges from simple biopsy for diagnostic purposes, to complex excision, flaps and grafts and MOHS day case surgery for skin cancer. Surgery is undertaken by Consultants, Registrars and Surgical Nurse Practitioners. The number of surgical lists undertaken is planned to increase in 2025, to enable to run the unit at 100%. As a result of this we now have additional Registered Nurse posts available.
About us
We have a fantastic team of staff (ranging from band 3, 5, 6, 7) who work either across both services in Dermatology Outpatients and on C04, or predominantly in one specific area. The team are fully committed to ensuring that the two departments are well led, and that the care patients receive is constantly of a high standard. Working across both areas enables a degree of flexibility in terms of staffing levels, but also an opportunity for nursing staff to enjoy working in a range of clinical areas, for example contact allergy, paediatric clinics, phototherapy, genital / vulval clinics, skin cancer, emergency clinics, general clinics, wound / leg ulcer clinics, lasers.
