Critical Care Outreach Sister / Charge Nurse

The Critical Care Outreach team (CCOT) covers 2 hospital sites 24/7 at Eastbourne District General Hospital and Conquest Hospital.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, highly motivated nurse with extensive critical care experience to join the Outreach team. This is an ideal opportunity for a critical care who wishes to expand their clinical skills, to work autonomously within a supportive and progressive team. The post holder will be expected to work flexibly across both hospital sites (12 hour shifts with internal rotation of both nights and weekends).

At EDGH and CQ, CCOT is led by a Senior Matron for Critical Care. The service provides expert assistance and support to acutely and critically ill patients outside the critical care unit. This includes patients recovering from critical illness and those at risk of deterioration (in ward and emergency care environments). You will work in collaboration with ward based teams and take part in education programmes for all groups of staff.

The post holder will complete an orientation period in accordance with the Trust's induction programme. You will also be supported completing the National CCO Professional Framework.

A wide range of staff benefits are available to our staff including staff development, enrolment in the NHS pension scheme, auto-enrolment to our Temporary Workforce Service, access to onsite nurseries. staff restaurants and accommodation.

In addition to an internal Occupational Health department, all staff also have access to free psychological support through our confidential Employee Assistance Programme. Onsite parking is available from only £50 a year.
