Burns Unit Nurse (596)

CG Sibanor Health Centre provides primary health care services including antenatal, maternity, paediatric and adult medical care. We are looking for a nurse to work in our wounds and burns unit who would deal with the wide range of minor injuries that are prevalent in the rural setting of the Health Centre. In addition to treating outpatients the nurse would also be involved in caring for some patients longer term, including inpatients and potentially some paraplegic patients who often need long term treatment for sores. The clinic staff all speak English but many of the patients do not, and the nurse will need to develop some simple local language skills. However, because of the nature of the role there is not a need to achieve conversation level skills which is why it is open to both short and long term applicants. In addition to being agents for God's love through the provision of good health care, the offer to pray for patients is often well received and sometimes there is also an opportunity to share something about Jesus. The nurse would be able to participate in the clinic outreach work which includes village visits, a weekly kids club, preaching on the ward, and showing the Jesus film.

Requirements:
A qualified nurse with 2 years experience would be helpful, but not essential. Flexibility and a willingness to try new things is essential.
