Caburn Ward is a 17 bedded Female Acute ward and there are currently 5 wards and a place of safety at the hospital. In 2025, hospital changes will mean that Caburn Ward will be turning into a 20 bedded mixed adult acute inpatient ward.
If you would like an informal chat or to arrange a shadow day where you can see some of the excellent work we already do, get in touch with the ward manager (details below).
We have opportunities for Staff Nurses, both newly qualified and for those with experience who are looking to further their professional development and are looking for a new challenge. For Newly Qualified Nurses, our Preceptorship Academy will help to give you the very best start in your transition from Student to Registered Nurse.
Our shared values within the team at Mill View are important to us; we are one hospital, not individual areas and wards that work in isolation. We look after each other and support each other when it's needed, particularly during the hard times. Your voice and your concerns are important to the leadership team and we encourage you to talk about areas of concern and empower you to implement positive changes.
Our hospital vision statement and commitment is to listen and to look after each other whilst creating a safe space for everyone. Let's be brave, curious and creative together and be proud of what we can achieve.

If it works for you and works for the role, we'll do our best to make it happen.
