Staff Nurse

We are looking for an enthusiastic and caring Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our Gynaecology Outpatients team, with a strong focus on supporting the colposcopy service. You will work alongside colposcopists, nurses and healthcare assistants to provide safe, compassionate, high-quality care to women and people with a cervix who are often anxious about abnormal screening results and examinations.

Colposcopy is a specialist, patient-centred service, so this is an excellent opportunity to develop skills in a rewarding area of women's health. Full training and support will be provided, and there is scope for future progression.

Assist the colposcopist during examinations, treatments and biopsies, including preparing equipment, solutions and instruments.

Welcome and prepare patients, explaining the procedure clearly and answering questions.

Provide emotional support and reassurance, acting as chaperone and patient advocate throughout.

Support informed consent by checking understanding and escalating any concerns.

Handle, label and send histology and cytology specimens accurately, in line with local policy.

Provide aftercare advice and written information, including what to expect after biopsy or treatment and when to seek help.

General gynaecology outpatient care

Support a range of clinics, such as general gynaecology, postmenopausal bleeding, hysteroscopy and pessary clinics.

Carry out observations, urinalysis, pregnancy tests and other point-of-care checks as required.

Recognise and escalate deteriorating or unwell patients promptly.
