Do you want to be part of a successful, progressive Surgical/Gynaecological team? We want to hear from you!

Due to recent expansion of our service we are looking to recruit a number of nurses into our established team.

We are looking for highly motivated, committed and enthusiastic nurses, who are passionate about delivering high quality, evidence based care.

You will be supported to develop a range of clinical skills and expanded roles to ensure our patients receive evidence based care.

You will be expected to support unqualified staff and junior colleagues, sharing your knowledge and skills to promote their development.

You will be required to engage and work in collaboration with several members of the multidisciplinary team. You will be required to communicate effectively with your patients, their relatives and your colleagues, providing high quality, safe care.
