There is a great opportunity for learning and development supported by the Clinical Nurse Educators and the nursing team whilst working alongside the multi-disciplinary team.

“This role has been identified as working in an area where there is a high likelihood of COVID encounters and will therefore be subject to additional pre-employment occupational health checks in the interest of health & safety.”
