Job overview
An exciting opportunity to join the community Heart Failure Service delivering care to the adult population within the South West region of Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire (BNSSG)
If you are looking for a career change or to develop your skills and expertise in a specialist area, this is a great opportunity to join our community Heart Failure service as a Heart Failure Specialist Nurse.
The successful candidate is expected to be highly motivated, dedicated with a passion for excellence in patient care, along with excellent communication and organisational skills.
This post may suit a clinician with previous cardiology experience or an experienced clinician with skills that are transferable to this position. There will be opportunities to support your own personal development, to help you gain the knowledge and skills to succeed.
You will see patients in community-based clinics and in their own homes and therefore a full UK driving licence is essential or ability to be able to travel independently to fulfil the role.
There will be an element of working across BNSSG to meet service delivery, but we look to deliver clinical caseload elements of the service within geographical locations with bases currently within BNSSG.
