Job overview

Duties include catheterisation, assisting with procedures like flexible cystoscopies and prostate biopsies, supporting specialist nurses, and potentially running nurse-led clinics. The role provides a strong foundation for development within urology nursing, with opportunities for learning new skills and contributing to patient recovery and management.

Delivering direct patient care within the urology outpatient setting, assisting with specialized procedures like flexible cystoscopies, managing catheter care, and supporting nurse-led clinics such as Trial Without Catheter (TWOC) clinics, and prostate biopsies. Key duties include assessing patient needs, developing and implementing care under senior guidance, administering treatments, liaising with the multidisciplinary team, and maintaining accurate patient records to ensure high-quality, patient-centered care.

Working for our organisation

St George's, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals and Health Group cares for a population of four million people in South West London and North East Surrey. Our sites include St George's Hospital, one of 11 major trauma centres in the UK and the largest healthcare provider and major teaching hospital in the area; St Helier Hospital, home to the South West Thames Renal and Transplantation Unit and Queen Mary's Hospital for Children; and Epsom Hospital, home to the South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre (SWLEOC).


After years of collaboration, our two Trusts became a hospitals group in 2021. While remaining as two separate Trusts, being a hospitals group will help us to collaborate more closely on research, and the development, education, and training of our 17,000-strong workforce.
