Key Responsibilities & Duties
As a Registered Nurse placed through Temporary Staff Agency in Leeds, you will deliver high-quality, patient-centred care in a dynamic environment. Your role is critical, and our clients trust us to provide nurses who are both clinically excellent and professionally adaptable.
1. Comprehensive Patient Assessment & Care Planning
Conduct thorough initial and ongoing patient assessments, using clinical judgement to identify needs. Develop, implement, and evaluate individualised care plans in collaboration with multidisciplinary teams, ensuring they are evidence-based and patient-focused.

Safely administer medications via various routes, including IV, following strict protocols. Perform complex clinical procedures such as wound care, catheterisation, and phlebotomy. Monitor and interpret patient observations (e.g., NEWS2 scores), responding promptly to any deterioration.
3. Leadership, Supervision & Delegation
Provide clinical leadership and supervision to Healthcare Assistants (HCAs) and student nurses. Effectively delegate tasks while maintaining overall responsibility for patient care. Act as a shift coordinator or team leader as required, ensuring the smooth running of the clinical area.
4. Patient Advocacy, Education & Support
Act as a steadfast advocate for patients and their families, ensuring their voices are heard in care decisions. Provide clear, empathetic health education and emotional support, promoting self-management and discharge planning.
5. Documentation, Audit & Professional Compliance
Maintain accurate, contemporaneous, and legally compliant patient records using digital systems (e.g., EPIC, SystmOne). Participate in clinical audit, incident reporting, and root cause analysis. Ensure strict adherence to NMC Code, CQC standards, and local trust policies at all times.
