An exciting opportunity has arisen for a band 3 to work on the Haemodialysis unit in Peterborough, caring for 179 patients. The unit is open from 07:00 - 23:00 Monday, Wednesday and Friday; and 07:00 - 19:00 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Previous experience in renal/haemodialysis is desirable but not essential, as full in-house training and support will be given. Ideally you will be qualified to NVQ level 3 or equivalent and have at least 12 months experience in a care setting.
The team you will be joining is dedicated to the training of both staff and patients. The management team is highly visible at the unit.
You also need to have:
- Setting up Dialysis Machines
- Connecting and disconnecting patients from dialysis
- Performing observations pre and post Dialysis
- Assisting trained staff as required
- A desire to deliver a high standard of care to chronically ill patients
Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030). We have four primary goals:
- High-quality care for all
- Being a great place to work
- Partnerships for impact
- Research and education excellence
And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.
Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all: we are compassionate, we are proud, we are inclusive, we are one team.
This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
