Role description

Job summary

This is a new and exciting 6 month fixed term opportunity (with likelihood of extension) for a motivated Registered Nurse to join the South East London (SEL) Community Liver Health Checks Projects team (within the Viral Hepatitis Operational Delivery Network (ODN) and hosted by King's College Hospital).

The post holder will work in collaboration with the Consultant Clinical Lead, Clinical Fellow, Fibroscanning Coordinators and Project Management team to develop broad experience within the CLHC project, which is a nationally commissioned workstream to increase early detection of liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) through targeted outreach, community testing, and improved pathways into care.

Previous NHS experience is essential.

Main duties of the job

The post holder is expected to integrate clinical and managerial skills within secondary care and primary across SEL; from delivering community clinics to working with stakeholders across the network to set up new and innovative patient pathways. They will also support with other liver surveillance initiatives as part of the ODN and wider Viral Hepatitis/Hepatology service at King's College Hospital, at an exciting time when national initiatives are driving us from reactive late stage treatments to proactive, community based interventions.

The successful applicant will require strong clinical skills combined with sophisticated communication skills and an enthusiastic and team player mind-set. You will be encouraged to show initiative and be highly self-motivated. The role will involve delivering clinics out in the community so the post holder must be flexible concerning their working locations throughout the week.
