Specialist Nurse

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an enthusiastic, dynamic and innovative registered nurse to join our Infection Prevention and Control Team. The team is based at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital but provides a service across two main sites, community and mental health services.

As well as an enthusiasm for infection prevention, you will bring to the role many transferable skills such as clinical leadership, change management and excellent oral and written communication skills. You will need to be able to influence others, prioritise work and have a flexible approach. The role will be varied and include: promoting best practice in respect to infection prevention and control, providing specialist advice and guidance for staff and patients, administering the audit programme, analysing and interpreting data and preparing and delivering reports.

You will be supported and encouraged to undertake a programme of study in infection prevention and control at post graduate level and, therefore, should have a first degree or evidence of the ability to study at that level.

You must have your own means of transport, as the ability to travel throughout Devon may be required.

Hours : 37.5 hours/week
