We have an opportunity for a Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our friendly Nurse led Haemodialysis Team at Easingwold Satellite Renal Unit.
Easingwold Satellite Unit is a 10 station Haemodialysis Unit caring for patients with chronic kidney disease. We are part of York Renal Services, which also has a main unit at York Teaching Hospital and a satellite unit in Harrogate and Scarborough ( Fresenius run).
We are looking for an enthusiastic and motivated nurse who demonstrates excellent communication and leadership skills to join us. You will be part of a dynamic forward thinking multi-disciplinary team delivering high quality individualised evidence based care. In addition to possessing excellent communication and people skills, you must also work well under pressure and use your initiative.
