You will be part of a friendly, supportive, and professional integrated team comprising of consultants, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, coordinators, advanced clinical practitioners, social services, and community services to offer the best care for our patients in this acute setting.
We receive admissions directly from our Emergency Department, encompassing a varied range of medical conditions. Patient flow can be fast-paced with patients being discharged or admitted to specialty wards. Length of stay on the Unit is usually <72 hours, meaning an ever-changing caseload.
We are supported by a wide range of services within the Multi-Disciplinary Team to facilitate safe and efficient discharge from our service.
On joining the team, you will receive a full supernumerary induction to give you time to get to know your colleagues and complete the required competencies to secure safe practice.

We have a dedicated team of Clinical Practice Facilitators who will help you to identify areas of learning and development to enhance your practice.
We have continuous clinical senior nursing cover from a team of Band 6 Sisters, Ward Manager, and Matrons. Staff Nurses are supported by a team of Health Care Assistants.
You will be expected to take on a link nursing role in a specialism that interests you, making you an integral part of our team.
As one of the Band 6 Nursing team, you will be supported to develop the necessary skills to manage the team in the absence of the Band 7 Ward Manager.
We hold a unique position in the Stockport community as the provider of healthcare and we are one of its largest employers.
Our mission is to make a difference every day. Our values are that we care, we respect, and we listen.
We believe that the best organizations are those that reflect the communities they serve. We are therefore seeking to improve the diversity of our workforce to make it truly representative of our local population.

The salary for the role is only one part of the excellent package of benefits we offer to you:
