Glaven Ward are excited to recruit a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner or Nursing Associate to join the team on a permanent basis.
We are a forward thinking and flexible team and we are looking to do things differently.

You would also be involved in change management projects such as quality improvement. You will support the Registered Nurses with the day to day activities and provide support to service users throughout their inpatient journey.
