Nurse Specialist Cardiac Rehabilitation

NHS AfC: Band 6

Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust is a friendly, integrated healthcare provider focused on improving the life chances and health outcomes of our diverse population.

We have three strategic objectives:

People: To cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff;

Patients: To be good or outstanding at everything we do;

Population: To work seamlessly with partners to improve lives;

We run services from Sandwell, City and Rowley Regis Hospitals, Birmingham & Midland Eye Centre, Birmingham Treatment Centre, the Lyng and Leasowes Intermediate Care Centre. Our GP practices and community teams provide care in schools, healthcare centres and at home.

Our next milestone is opening the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), a once in a career opportunity to shape care transformation within and beyond the hospital walls. 

Developing and caring for our People is fundamental. We were one of the first Trusts to provide the Real Living Wage, as well as a Live and Work scheme to support people at risk of homelessness into paid work and training. We offer a range of staff benefits, health & wellbeing support and will help you to bring your ambition to life through our bespoke training and development programmes. As “People” is one of our three strategic objectives, we make a continued commitment to prioritise support for all our colleagues.

Healthcare services have a significant impact on the environment. We are committed to embedding sustainable practices. We expect all colleagues to support the delivery of our Green Strategic Plan and to drive positive changes in their department.

Job overview

The cardiac rehabilitation team at the Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust is seeking a passionate and dynamic Band 6 Nurse Specialist to join their team and growing service.
 
This is an exciting opportunity to join a multi-disciplinary team of cardiac nurses, exercise physiologists, cardiac rehabilitation assistants and administrative staff all committed to providing a highly specialised service to patients following a cardiac event or surgery. 
 
We are looking for a proactive and self-motivated cardiac nurse with relevant and significant experience in delivering care to patients with cardiac conditions.  The post holder would be expected to provide specialist advice and deliver education and support through phases 1 to Phase 3, as well as undertaking the pre-admission clinics for cardiology procedures.

Main duties of the job

Under the mentorship of the senior cardiac rehabilitation nursing and exercise physiology team, the successful post holder will positively contribute to the care delivery of patients following an acute cardiac event.
 
Their role will be to provide the necessary clinical expertise, education, support and guidance to patients and their caregivers.  The responsibilities of the post include in-patient advice and follow up in an outpatient setting, both face to face and telephone consultation.  
 
Health assessment and the awareness of current, up-to-date guidance of secondary prevention medications are a critical component of the role.  Possession of the health assessment course and the Non-medical prescribing or commitment to acquire these qualifications are essential.  
 
Prospective Band 6 candidates must be able to demonstrate relevant, significant post registration experience in Cardiology.
 

Working for our organisation

Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality. 

Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens this year and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH . If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continue your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities. 

We have three strategic objectives:

  1. Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
  2. Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
  3. Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
