We are looking for  Registered Nurses to join our team as Band 6 Deputy Team Leaders for Recovery/Post- op  in our brand new Planned Care Centre.

We want every patient to have the best possible care and support so have started an extensive re-organisation of our three sites in Leicester - the Leicester Royal Infirmary, the Leicester General Hospital and the Glenfield Hospital.

As part of that work, we've created the East Midlands Planned Care Centre, a stand alone unit on site at the Leicester General Hospital. A multi million pound investment to improve care and reduce waiting lists for the people of Leicester and beyond.

Having welcomed our first patients in early Summer 2023, recruitment has now commenced on phase 2 to expand our services. The Centre is due to open in December 2024, at least 86,000 additional outpatient contacts with treatment where required will be made per year.

When the East Midland Planned Care Centre opens in December 2024 the building will consist of two operating Theatres, 14 outpatient rooms, four clean rooms and a surgical day case facility, together with two 18-bedded wards dedicated to elective day case / post surgical activity, as well as medical day case for Oncology, Haematology and Gastroenterology patients.

Gweithio i'n sefydliad

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We have four primary goals: 

• high-quality care for all, 
• being a great place to work, 
• partnerships for impact, and 
• research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

• we are compassionate,
• we are proud, 
• we are inclusive, and 
• we are one team 

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
