Registered Nurse - Endoscopy
We are seeking a skilled and compassionate Registered Nurse to join a busy Endoscopy team. You will provide safe, effective and patient-centred care to individuals undergoing diagnostic and therapeutic procedures, including gastroscopy, colonoscopy and other endoscopic investigations. You will support patients throughout their journey, from admission and preparation through to recovery and discharge.
Key responsibilities will include assessing patients’ physical and emotional needs, checking clinical histories, gaining informed consent in line with local policy, and preparing patients for procedures. You will assist the endoscopist during interventions, maintaining high standards of infection prevention and control, patient safety and documentation. You will also monitor patients before, during and after procedures, recognise any deterioration promptly, and respond appropriately to complications or emergencies.
You will provide clear information and reassurance to patients and their relatives, ensuring that post-procedure advice and discharge instructions are understood. The role also involves administering and monitoring medicines in accordance with professional and organisational standards, maintaining accurate records, checking equipment, and contributing to stock control and the smooth running of the department. You may be required to support audit, service improvement, education and the supervision of students or junior colleagues.
Applicants must be registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council and have current clinical experience in an acute, procedural or endoscopy setting. Experience of caring for patients receiving sedation, managing pre- and post-operative care, and working within multidisciplinary teams would be advantageous. You should demonstrate sound clinical judgement, excellent communication skills and a commitment to delivering respectful, inclusive care.
You will be organised, adaptable and able to remain calm in a fast-paced environment. A commitment to continuing professional development, safeguarding, confidentiality and evidence-based practice is essential. In return, you will have opportunities to develop your endoscopy knowledge and skills within a supportive clinical team.
