Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS
Trust (BHRUT).
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and
enthusiastic Band 6 Nurse to join our dynamic Sexual Health and Contraception Service at BHRUT.
As part of our skilled and welcoming nursing team, you will
be supported to develop specialist expertise and work towards becoming an autonomous practitioner within a friendly, forward‑thinking environment. We are committed to supporting your professional growth and helping you build confidence in delivering high‑quality sexual health care.
What We’re Looking For
We are seeking a nurse who demonstrates:
A genuine passion for improving the health and wellbeing of the local community
An interest in, and understanding of, sexual health and contraception
Commitment to learning new skills and developing within the speciality
Experience working within Sexual Health and Contraception services
Confidence in working under Patient Group Directives (PGDs)
Desirable:
Competency as a subdermal implant fitter
If you are compassionate, eager to grow, and ready to
contribute to an enthusiastic and supportive team, we would love to hear from you.
As an experienced nurse in sexual health and reproductive services the Registered Nurse will provide clinical care for presenting groups of patients including history taking, clinical assessment, diagnosis, treatment and evaluation of their care.
You would provide high standards of evidence-based patient centred sexual health care whilst ensuring that resources within the clinical setting are used efficiently and effectively.
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
We’re proud of our regional Neurosciences Centre, Radiotherapy Centre and Hyper Acute Stroke Unit. We’re also part of the North East London Cancer Alliance.
We run a Women’s Health Hub in Ilford; an Ageing Well Centre in Hornchurch; and Community Diagnostic Centres (CDC) at Barking Community Hospital and at St George’s Health and Wellbeing Hub. These CDCs are open 12 hours a day, 7 days a week.
The majority of our 8,400 staff – who come from 146 different countries - live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve and are from black, Asian and minority ethnic groups. Many can work flexibly and more than 400 of them are on our Ofsted accredited apprenticeship programmes. We’re proud to be a London Living Wage employer.
