Description

Acute Cardiac Care Unit

X1 Permanent Band 3 Post 34.5. Hours per week (including days/nights/weekends/bank holidays)

An exciting opportunity has arisen on ACCU for a permanent Band 3 post.

ACCU is a fast paced, 14 bed cardiac monitored unit, caring for a variety of stable and unstable cardiac patients and high dependency patients.

We are looking for a caring and compassionate individual who delivers exceptional patient care.

As a healthcare on ACCU you will be expected to ensure that all the basic needs of the patients are met.

This includes washing, dressing, toileting, assisting with feeding and ensuring their comfort at all times.

You will be expected to ensure the safety of the patients by repositioning and reducing the risk of falls on the ward.

It is essential that you have a good bed side manner and have excellent communication skills so that you can communicate effectively with patients, relatives and other staff members.

As a band 3 healthcare you will be expected to work closely with the nursing staff assisting in simple dressings, observation and blood sugar monitoring, venepuncture, cannulation and catheterisation once the appropriate training has been given.

Liverpool University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2019 following the merger of two adult acute Trusts, Aintree University Hospital NHS Foundation Trust and the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

The merger provides an opportunity to reconfigure services in a way that provides the best healthcare services to the city and improves the quality of care and health outcomes that patients experience.

The Trust runs Aintree University Hospital, Broadgreen Hospital, Liverpool University Dental Hospital and the Royal Liverpool University Hospital.

It serves a core population of around 630,000 people across Merseyside as well as providing a range of highly specialist services to a catchment area of more than two million people in the North West region and beyond.
