This is an opportunity for a band 5 staff nurse to work in a brand-new modern hospital, The Louisa Martindale Building. We are excited to have moved into level C8 with our Acute Frailty Area. The new hospital with its spacious bays, side rooms, amazing views of the sea and Downs, allows the best environment to care for our elderly patients.
Caring for short stay elderly patients who are acutely ill, with differing underlying chronic conditions, enables staff to have many learning opportunities. Some patients are diagnosed as ‘frail’ and may have cognitive impairment.
We hope that this opportunity is what you are seeking. If this interests you and you have the passion to deliver excellent care to our patients, we would love you to hear from and look forward to you joining our team. We offer training, support and will help develop your skills to become confident, competent and feel fulfilled in your role. We are supported by a practice educator for speciality medicine who will advise and encourage you in your continued professional development. You will receive a robust and supernumerary induction orientation programme to the area.
We welcome applications from those who currently hold a UK NMC registration. If you currently hold an overseas nursing qualification and require sponsorship we are not currently direct hiring Internationally Qualified Nurses.
