Spread over the General, Glenfield and Royal Infirmary hospitals, we also have our very own Children’s Hospital and work closely with partners at the University of Leicester and De Montfort University providing world-class teaching to nurture and develop the next generation of doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, many of whom go on to spend their working lives with us.

If you are a registered healthcare practitioner with experience or working towards a qualification in infection, prevention and control, who is looking to use their knowledge and skills across the whole range of health and social care settings, then this is the job for you. Working with a proactive and progressive IP Team, with a reputation for making it better for our patients and staff, by going the extra mile.

You will have a key role in ensuring our patients have the highest standard of infection prevention possible, through support for our clinical colleagues and support for those who deliver care. Your role will include surveillance, monitoring and investigation of alert organisms. You will conduct, support, and collate audits of IP practice in addition to providing advice support and education. You will require excellent organisational and communication skills to enable you to work collaboratively with primary, community and secondary care providers. You will have the opportunity to use your knowledge and skills to participate in other nursing and quality assurance activities within the Trust.

The successful candidate may be required to undertake an IP qualification and have a wide range of teaching experience, some related to infection prevention and audit and surveillance. The post requires travel to different sites and it is essential that the successful candidate has the ability to commute between locations.

We have four primary goals:
high-quality care for all,
being a great place to work,
partnerships for impact, and
research and education excellence.

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:
we are compassionate,
we are proud,
we are inclusive, and
we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
