Are you looking to work in a rewarding nursing environment?
We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated Registered Nurses to join our forward-thinking nurse-led team at Wallingford Community Hospital.
We focus on rehabilitation and complex discharge management, caring for our patients who have a wide variety of conditions and have come to us from medical, trauma, renal, and surgical wards. Every day you will see a variety of specialisms that will allow you to utilise and grow your nursing skills.
There is a strong therapeutic presence within our friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary team which you will be an integral part of, and you will actively contribute to providing the highest standards of patient care.
