Job overview

University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.

Please see below for detailed job description of the role.

Main duties of the job

We are seeking an experienced and proactive Nurse to join our dynamic, nurse-led anticoagulation service. This role offers a unique opportunity to provide expert care across all stages of anticoagulant treatment—from initiation and patient education to peri-operative management and treatment cessation.

This role involves working in collaboration with health and social care colleagues within the Trust and external primary and acute care providers to develop patient-centred pathways of care for smooth and timely referral, minimising delays and supporting shared care.

You will work closely with Consultants and fellow Clinical Nurse Specialist to deliver high-quality, patient-centred care within a supportive multidisciplinary team. This is a key clinical role requiring strong communication skills, clinical judgement, and the ability to support patients and families during potentially anxious and complex periods of treatment.  

Working for our organisation

University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.

Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs and Jurassic Coast. 

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.

At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.

At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
