An exciting opportunity has arisen for a HCSW to join a team of experienced nurses working on our busy Acute Medical Unit, which also looks after patients who have multiple acute medical problems.
You will have the opportunity to develop your skills, under the supervision of qualified nurses, caring for patients who are acutely ill with medical conditions. This unit is a busy area that provides an excellent opportunity to deal with patients in a short-term care environment.
Hospital experience is desirable but not essential. The post is rotational between day and night duty.
Your role will consist of assisting and supporting the Registered Nurses to deliver excellent patient centred care.
The Unit is fast paced and dynamic. We accept patients from ED and directly from GP where their conditions can be unpredictable.
You will be expected to work to a Band 3 job description, full training will be given but experience as a HCSW is essential.
