    Our nurses are trained to take patient histories, carry out examinations and diagnostics including microscopy.

Our Deputy CNS team undertake additional nursing duties for example Pharmacy Link Nurse or Infection Prevention Link nurse. They will also routinely take on the role of Nurse in Charge and help in the day to day running of the clinic.

    Working for our organisation

    Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust comprises five of the UK's best known hospitals – Guy's, St Thomas', Evelina London Children's Hospital, Royal Brompton and Harefield – as well as community services in Lambeth and Southwark, all with a long history of high quality care, clinical excellence, research and innovation.

    We are among the UK's busiest, most successful foundation trusts. We provide specialist care for patients including heart and lung, cancer and renal services as well as a full range of local hospital and community services for people in Lambeth and Southwark.

    We have a long tradition of clinical and scientific achievement and – as part of King's Health Partners – we are one of England's eight academic health sciences centres, bringing together world-class clinical services, teaching and research. We have one of the National Institute for Health Research's biomedical research centres, established with King's College London in 2007, as well as dedicated clinical research facilities.

    Detailed job description and main responsibilities

    In order to support you in this exciting role we will support and develop you to:

    Manage your own caseloads in sexual and reproductive health by providing you with an induction program that will enable you to work with your patients autonomously.

    Deliver teaching/mentoring to our cohort of student nurses and midwives as well as the opportunity to deliver departmental teaching. We believe, as a department that our ongoing education is vital, and we run weekly academic mornings delivered by in-house and external speakers - essential within the rapidly changing field of sexual and reproductive health.

    Partake in quality improvement projects with support and training provided.

    Be actively involved in day-to-day clinic management, and nurse-in-charge duties.

    Progress your career within the department with further training, including DFSRH contraception training, including the insertion and removal of contraceptive implants. When ready, our deputy CNS team are able to apply for CNS positions, Deputy Sister Positions, or Sister posts, depending on individual experience.

    We strongly advise potential applicants to read the job description in order to ensure their suitability for the position offered and to look at our websites to gain an insight in to what our services offer.
