Band 5 - Staff Nurse - Swab Centre / Test Results - COVID-19

As an employer of nearly 5,000 staff, West Hertfordshire Hospitals NHS Trust is the place to be. Having have been shortlisted over the last three years for 18 national people related awards and most recently winning the Nursing Times award for Best UK Employer 2019 we are immensely proud of our achievements.

We have lots to shout about! Despite having lots of challenges, we’ve worked really hard to make West Herts a great place to work. The good news is we’re really starting to see the results of our efforts. We’re one of the few NHS organisations across the UK to have achieved a phenomenal 0% nurse vacancy rate within our adult inpatient areas. We have also recently secured over £450m capital funding to transform our sites and give our patients and colleagues within #teamwestherts the working environment they deserve.

We have a 9 month fixed term/secondment opportunity for a Staff Nurse. Your expertise and commitment to #teamwestHerts is needed for our COVID Hub and support services. See attached Job Description for details of the role.

The service is open 7 days a week and based at Watford General Hospital and our temporary COVID Hub in West Watford (within 5 miles of WGH). Some positions maybe be based or asked to rotate to St Albans City Hospital.

Those applying for secondments must have permission from their current line manager to be released for a secondment at the earliest opportunity. Where secondments are approved staff should be aware that they may not be able to return to their substantive position at the end of the secondment but will be slotted into a suitable alternative role.
