We are looking for a flexible, highly motivated and enthusiastic person to join our team. Our team aims to provide excellent, person-centred care in an environment where learning and reflective practice are encouraged and fostered.
The successful candidate will be responsible for the assessment of care needs, the development, implementation and evaluation of programmes of care without supervision and to teach and develop other nursing and non-nursing staff. This will involve the regular supervision and appraisal of staff nurses and undertaking a clinical lead on the unit in support of the Ward Manager.
