Registered Nurse - Endoscopy
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Registered Nurse to join an experienced endoscopy team. This role offers the opportunity to provide high-quality care to patients undergoing a range of diagnostic and therapeutic endoscopic procedures in a safe, supportive and professional environment.
You will assess patients before, during and after procedures, ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met throughout their visit. Responsibilities will include completing clinical assessments, preparing patients for procedures, administering and monitoring sedation in line with local policy, assisting clinicians during endoscopy, and providing appropriate recovery and discharge care. You will also be expected to recognise and respond promptly to any changes in a patient’s condition.
Patient safety is central to this position. You will contribute to effective infection prevention and control, maintain accurate clinical records, check equipment and support the safe handling, cleaning and storage of endoscopy instruments. You will work closely with the wider multidisciplinary team, communicate clearly with patients and relatives, and provide advice on preparation, aftercare and any follow-up requirements.
Applicants must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and have relevant post-registration experience, ideally within endoscopy, gastroenterology, theatres, recovery or another acute clinical setting. Experience of conscious sedation, assisting with procedures and caring for patients before and after interventions would be advantageous. A sound understanding of clinical governance, safeguarding, medicines management and infection control is also required.
You should be organised, adaptable and able to remain calm in a busy clinical environment. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are essential, together with a commitment to dignity, confidentiality and patient-centred care. You will be expected to work effectively as part of a team while also demonstrating initiative and professional accountability. A willingness to undertake relevant training and maintain continuing professional development is essential. The role may include varied shift patterns, including occasional early starts, late finishes or weekend working.
