We do not operate an out-of-hours rota however on rare occasions, inpatient care may be required during the week for hospitalised patients. We have an open culture built on respect and accountability and a supportive and accessible leadership structure.

Who We Are Looking For

Leading a team is about appreciating individuals and bringing them together to create a functioning team capable of achieving set objectives. Working alongside our other Team Leaders, you will become pivotal in the two-way communication between clinical and practice directors and your team on the ground and will be working to create and maintain an environment in which it is possible to be the best nurse you can be. You will be an experienced, qualified RVN who has worked in busy practice.
