IA is offering an exciting opportunity for a compassionate and experienced Stoma and Pouch Specialist Nurse to help us lead and develop our clinical support services to people living with an ileostomy or an internal pouch, family, friends and those interested in our work. The successful applicant will have been in a similar role for at least 12 months as an experienced Stoma/Pouch Specialist Nurse and qualified to at least (NHS) Band level 6. As someone who is passionate about helping people who have been through, or are considering life changing surgery, your empathetic approach, high standards and professionalism together with your excellent clinical knowledge and experience will put the patient at the heart of everything that you do.

In addition to direct support through one of our many communications channels, your clinical experience will help us to further our charitable aims, developing additional strategic services supported by our team of staff, trustees and volunteers, many of whom have been through life changing surgery themselves.

As someone who is flexible in their approach and is prepared to think outside of the box, each day will offer a different challenge. Whether you are representing IA at external meetings, on various multi-disciplinary committees or advocating for improvements in products and services available to people living with a stoma and interna pouch, your strong voice and stakeholder management skills will represent both the charity and the voice of the patient.

As a hybrid role, the successful applicant is expected to be a self-starter with drive and determination to help us to grow our services and develop our patient support model.

In return, IA is offering a salary commensurate with experience, 28 days holiday plus bank holidays together with a generous benefits package.
