An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 role in Patient Emergency Response and Resuscitation Team (PERRT) at University College London Hospital.
This role is suitable for nurses with strong leadership skills and significant experience in critical care who wish to develop further in the four pillars of advanced practice.
If you are driven by values that align with those of UCLH, and are motivated to improve outcomes for deteriorating patients, then this might well be the perfect job for you.
PERRT at UCLH is a 24/7 nursing service, that provides leadership and hands on clinical response to deteriorating patients and supports the staff caring for them.
This is not an easy role, and there are many challenges which will help you grow and develop personally and professionally.
The PERRT role provides opportunity to develop in all 4 pillars of the advanced practice framework, and we work closely with our academic partners. We are fortunate to have a senior lecturer in advanced practice in an honorary nurse consultant position with PERRT. Our clinical academic partnership is further strengthened with our senior nurses being honorary lecturers at City, University of London.
All our staff are supported to undertake advanced life support courses (adult and paediatric), and a level 7 advanced physical assessment module within the first 6-12 months of starting in role.
A typical shift includes assessment of patients already under PERRT review, responding to 2222 calls across the site, delivery of resuscitation training, reflective learning from events, supporting PERRT colleagues, assessing and managing risks, liaising with numerous MDT colleagues, and enjoying the challenges and learning that are inherent in the role.
Our recruitment process is designed so that you have the opportunity to best demonstrate your skills and expertise.
We strongly advise informal visits, so please do get in touch with us to have a chat and arrange a visit. This will give you insight into the role, the service, and the Trust.
