Join Our Team – Ward 15
So why should you come and work with us and what can we offer you?
Well we are a fantastic team, sometimes a bit mad! – Our team is not made up of just nurses. We work very closely with our therapist and our medical team.
If you are newly qualified we will put you on the Trust’s preceptorship programme, we will also support you with competencies that need to be completed at ward level – we have some great mentors/teachers on the ward who excel at supporting students and newly qualified nurses. We do have a number of students who requested to come back to us to do their elective placement because of the support they receive.
If you have been qualified for a while we would love to hear from you as well as I sure there is plenty you can offer us with the experience you will have had.
All our staff are given training around stroke – to start off there will be an ‘introduction to stroke’ study day. This is led by our stroke nurse specialist and our therapist. After that there are all sorts of Stroke training programmes on offer.
So if you would like to come and join our team please feel free to give me a call or better still come and have a look around the ward.
