Job summary
We are looking for a Cardiac Specialist Nurse to join our Community Cardiac Nursing Team based in Ramsgate.
We provide a specialist service to adult patients with complex cardiac conditions across East Kent, primarily heart failure. As part of the highly specialist nursing team, you will help support patients with chronic cardiac conditions that have been identified as having ongoing needs and would benefit from focused management.
Main duties of the job

We would always encourage an informal visit to our site so you have the opportunity to meet some of our team and see how we work. Please get in touch if you would like to hear more.
Additional Working Pattern: 4 days per week (6 hours) - day off negotiable.
