Sandringham Ward is excited to recruit a Band 4 Assistant Practitioner to join the team on a fixed term basis for 12 months.

As an Assistant Practitioner on Sandringham Ward you will have the opportunity to use and develop your knowledge and skills whilst supporting the patient through their admission journey. There will be good opportunity for further development around medication management and physical health.

We are a forward thinking and flexible team and we are looking to do things differently.

Sandringham Ward is an admission ward with the role to assess, treat and
