We are looking for Nurses who have an interest in respiratory, gastroenterology, hepatology, renal and general medicine wards.

We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation. However, personalizing your recruitment application to highlight your unique skills and experiences is crucial. Relying too heavily on generic, AI-generated content instead of drawing from your own strengths and accomplishments may lead to your application being rejected if multiple candidates present identical or similar information.
At UHS we’re committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We’re committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
Detailed job description and main responsibilities
All members of the care group are committed to ensure that the patients and their carers receive a high-quality experience of their hospital pathway. Treating patients as individuals and with the privacy and dignity that they expect will ensure that we continue to uphold the reputation we have for delivering quality care.
We pride ourselves in the provision of high standards of patient care and exemplary support to our employees. We are a dedicated team, proud of the care, service, and experience that we offer and provide for our patients. Clinical expertise is at the forefront of making sure that patients have the best clinical outcome and receive care that is current, and evidence based.
