Staff Nurse - Bexhill Unit | East Healthcare NHS Trust

Overview

We have an exciting opportunity to expand our workforce across our Intermediate Care Services at East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust. These cover Bexhill Irvine Rehabilitation Unit (a 54 bedded unit), Rye Memorial Care Centre (a 19 bedded unit) and Milton Grange (27 beds). The Irvine Unit is supported by 2 ward-based Doctors and a consultant, while Rye Memorial and Milton Grange are supported by local GPs.

We deliver excellent patient care in a challenging and motivational workplace. Our aim is to maximise patient care using all resources available, reducing the length of stay and maintaining patient flow. We achieve this by holding a daily board round encompassing all multi-disciplinary teams to establish the needs of the patient, management plans and safe discharges. We provide care and rehabilitation for a wide range of medical conditions including Stroke, Orthopaedic and general medicine.

The ESHT Rehabilitation strategy focuses on improving the quality and performance of our acute and community services to deliver high quality rehabilitation across East Sussex. This is a dynamic and changing environment, and the strategy supports our staff, teams and the organisation to make meaningful changes that bring about improvements in rehabilitation for the benefit of our population.
