    Job overview

    We have an exciting opportunity to join us as Junior Sister/Charge Nurse on our Virtual Ward

    Virtual wards allow people to get the care they need at home, safely and conveniently, rather than being in hospital by utilising remote monitoring technology and medical devices to assess their needs, and to ensure that clinical staff provide the care required to maintain them safely at home. This includes either preventing avoidable admissions into hospital or supporting early discharge out of hospital.

    Virtual wards are suitable for a range of conditions that can be safely and effectively monitored at home including cardiac conditions, respiratory conditions, frailty, orthopaedic and surgical conditions.

    This is your opportunity to help the Trust to deliver this exciting new model of care, and we are looking for individuals who are ready for a new challenge to help us to safely develop and deliver our model.

    Main duties of the job

    The Virtual Ward Junior Sister/Charge Nurse will work as part of the Virtual Ward team, providing professional leadership and management within the work environment. You will be accountable and responsible for the standards of care provided within the Virtual Ward and for assisting with leading, supporting and implementing innovative practice.

    You will provide direct patient care, assessment and be able to demonstrate specialist knowledge and act as a resource and role model for the clinical team.

    Please be aware this role will require working at Colchester Hospital with some cross-site working.

    Working for our organisation

    We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients' own homes.

    We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.

    We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.

    Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

    Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

    We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what's widely regarded as the world's best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.

    If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
