Band 5
Job overview
The Skin department at the University Hospital of North Midlands provides a dedicated service to Dermatology and Plastics patients both at Royal Stoke and County Hospital. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 5 Staff Nurse at the Royal Stoke site
The Dermatology department moved into a new state of the art facility in 2012 at the Royal Stoke University Hospital and provides out-patient care to the people of North Staffordshire and surrounding areas. In 2017 we built a new state of the art skin department at County Hospital to provide out-patient care to both Dermatology and Plastic patients within the same regional areas.
Main duties of the job
This is a busy and challenging clinical area, which provides a full range of Dermatological and Plastics services such as phototherapy, minor surgical procedures, and a variety of dressings along with supporting/assisting the skin team. We are currently undergoing a transformation so there is no better time to join our team.
If you have experience in an acute hospital setting, are a dynamic, enthusiastic person with experience and/or an interest in Dermatology and Plastics, have the ability to work well within a highly motivated team and can deliver high quality nursing care, we would like to hear from you.

We have put together a wide range of development packages aimed at ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to fulfil their potential. Our goal is to be a world-class centre of achievement, where patients receive the highest standards of care and the best people come to learn, work and research.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
The ideal candidate will have excellent interpersonal skills and be committed to improving standards of care. In return we can offer a structured induction programme plus access to on-going professional education and development and an annual performance and development review. You will gain a wide range of Dermatological/Plastic nursing experience as well as expand your skills and knowledge in this varied and exciting environment.
