The Jersey Diabetes Team are empowering people with the knowledge, confidence and support they need to live well, while ensuring they receive the right care at the right time. Our Diabetes Specialist Nurses play a pivotal role in improving outcomes, promoting self-management and delivering high-quality, person-centred care to individuals with all types of diabetes.
Our diabetic care service supports people at every stage of their diabetes journey, from diagnosis through to long-term management, working closely with primary care, acute services, community teams and multidisciplinary colleagues to provide unified and coordinated care. Education sits at the heart of everything we do, helping patients, families, carers and healthcare professionals develop the skills and understanding needed to support safe and effective diabetes management.
As an experienced Diabetes Inpatient Nurse, you will be committed to improving the safety, experience and outcomes of people living with diabetes during hospital admission. As an autonomous practitioner, you will lead on specialist diabetes care within Jersey General Hospital, working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams to deliver evidence-based, person-centred care.
From triage, clinical assessment, caseload management, treatment planning to care evaluation and discharge coordination you will ensure patients receive the right support both during admission and following discharge. Your expertise will play a key role in improving the quality and effectiveness of inpatient diabetes care by reducing avoidable admissions, minimising hospital length of stay and supporting safe discharge planning.
See the impact of your work in shaping clinical guidance that strengthens diabetes care and supports a culture of safety and continuous improvement, making a difference every day in people’s lives. Part of this role will include ward and classroom based teaching (both formally and ad-hoc) to disseminate good practice and improve ward based care.
