University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
Are you looking for a fresh challenge, committed to the delivery of high-quality patient care, and keen to be part of a team where your ideas and opinions are valued?
Look no further!
An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our dynamic, developing, and forward-thinking Adult Outpatients Antimicrobial Therapy (OPAT) team.
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalising your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS, we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognising that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
As a Band 5 OPAT Nurse, you will be integral to supporting our multidisciplinary team (MDT) to deliver high quality care for patients receiving IV antibiotic outside the hospital setting. You will care for a diverse caseload of patients with complex infectious diseases who require intravenous (IV) antimicrobial therapy outside an inpatient ward.
No two days are ever the same. You will work within a highly supportive, multidisciplinary team including Consultant Microbiologists, Pharmacists and Band 7 Specialist Nurse to deliver safe, personal, and effective patient centred care.
This is a full-time post, covering the service Monday to Friday with the possibility of some weekend working.
UK driving licence is preferable as driving to off site community settings maybe required in the future.
