Clinical Nurse Specialist - Inflammatory Bowel Disease
Band 7
Job overview
Due to service expansion an exciting opportunity has arisen for a motivated and enthusiastic nurse to join our Gastroenterology service as a Clinical Nurse Specialist for Inflammatory Bowel Disease. We are seeking a committed and compassionate individual to join our existing team at Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), which is one of the leading specialist departments in the UK and sees around 5000 children and young people each year.
Main duties of the job
As a member of a team comprised of staff from all professional groups, you will be working with babies, children and young people to support the highly specialised field of inflammatory Bowel Disease and Mucosal Immunology.
Working for our organisation
We are keen to make our workforce as diverse as the communities we serve, and we hope to attract applications from underrepresented groups, including people with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic heritage, people with a disability, and people from LGBTQ+ communities. By growing an ever more diverse workforce, we’ll have a greater range of perspectives and knowledge, meaning that we can provide the children and young people at our hospital with even better care.
Our hospital is committed to creating an environment that is open and inclusive. Our staff are encouraged to engage with colleagues through the following networks: REACH (Race, Ethnicity and Cultural Heritage) ENABLED (Enhancing Abilities & Leveraging Disabilities Network), PRIDE and Women’s networks; all of which are sponsored by a member of our Executive Management Team.
We want to ensure that all of our people, regardless of their background, are seen and heard. We want to attract applicants that share our commitment to inclusion and that understand diversity is a strength that is embraced and valued.
