About Us
The Gender Hormone Clinic is a specialist, nurse-led healthcare service providing individualised hormone care to adults aged 18 and over.
We are a growing, supportive and forward-thinking clinical team with a strong emphasis on compassionate, evidence-informed care, patient safety and excellent clinical governance.
As our service continues to grow, we are looking for an experienced Registered Nurse with a minimum of six years’ post-registration experience to join our team in Stafford.
The Role
This is an exciting opportunity for an experienced nurse who enjoys autonomous practice, developing specialist knowledge and building meaningful therapeutic relationships with patients.
You will work as part of our multidisciplinary clinical team, providing consultations and ongoing monitoring for adults receiving gender-affirming hormone therapy.
Previous experience within gender healthcare is not essential. Comprehensive specialist training, clinical protocols, supervision and ongoing support will be provided.
We are particularly interested in experienced nurses from areas such as General Practice, Sexual Health, Endocrinology, Women’s Health, Reproductive Health or other autonomous outpatient settings.
Key Responsibilities
As your specialist knowledge and competence develop, you will:
- Undertake comprehensive patient consultations and clinical assessments.
- Obtain and evaluate relevant medical, medication and family histories.
- Undertake and document appropriate physical observations and assessments.
- Review and interpret blood results, identifying abnormalities requiring further investigation or escalation.
- Support the initiation and ongoing monitoring of gender-affirming hormone therapy within agreed clinical protocols.
- Monitor treatment response, side effects and potential complications.
- Provide clear patient education, health promotion and safety-netting.
- Produce accurate, high-quality clinical documentation and correspondence to GPs and other healthcare professionals.
- Work collaboratively with prescribing clinicians and the wider multidisciplinary team.
- Recognise clinical, psychological and safeguarding concerns and escalate appropriately.
- Participate in clinical governance, audit, training and continuing professional development.
- Maintain the high standards of compassionate, respectful and individualised care expected throughout the clinic.
