Join Our Team – Ward 10
There are few careers as rewarding as nursing frail complex patients, providing an opportunity to treat multiple conditions and putting support in place to meet their complex discharge needs.
We are a friendly team who go out of our way to support each other, seeing our colleagues as an extended family.
If you join us on Ward 10 you will be joining a passionate, friendly and motivated team, committed to providing the best possible care and treatment to our patients.
The team supports and values new members of staff, striving to develop and maximise each individual’s skills and knowledge. Newly qualified Registered Nurses will be supported through the Trust preceptorship programme to support you in adapting to your new role and your transition from a student nurse into a competent Registered Nurse.
