We are seeking to recruit an experienced Asthma Nurse Specialist to join our Bank nursing team to support the provision of the Asthma UK Adviceline service.
Bank Nurses working on the Asthma Adviceline are employed on a casual basis in order to cover short-term periods of absence on the Adviceline.
This is a diverse and interesting role, which includes a variety of opportunities to make a real difference to the lives of people with asthma. As a member of the bank nursing team you will be responding to calls and email enquiries from people with asthma, their families and carers, healthcare professionals and others.
You must be a qualified nurse with post-registration experience in respiratory medicine, especially asthma, gained from working either in a hospital or community setting and it is essential that applicants possess a diploma in Asthma Care.
You will be motivated and enthusiastic with strong communication skills and the ability to work well within our small friendly team. Basic keyboard and database skills are also prerequisites for this role. In return, we can offer you the opportunity to provide expert support to people with asthma and to develop professionally.
Our salaries for Bank Asthma Nurse Specialists are comparable with Agenda for Change pay level 6 depending on experience.
The closing date for applications is 22 April 2012
