• Working collaboratively with doctors, allied health professionals, and support staff
• Advocating for patients’ dignity, comfort, and informed choice
• Responding confidently to changing clinical priorities
• Contributing ideas to improve ward processes and patient experience
• Maintaining accurate documentation and upholding clinical standards
• You will be encouraged to share ideas, challenge practice constructively, and help shape how care is delivered—always with quality and respect at the forefront.

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be someone who:

• Communicates clearly and compassionately with patients, families, and colleagues
• Works well under pressure and adapts to changing clinical demands
• Values teamwork and contributes positively to ward culture
• Demonstrates professionalism, accountability, and respect
• Is motivated to learn and develop within a specialist clinical area
