Job summary

We are looking for proactive, eager to learn Nurses who want to develop the exceptional skills and knowledge required to care for critically ill patients in our Intensive/High Dependency Units.

East Sussex Healthcare Trust has 2 Critical Care units: We are currently recruiting for Conquest which comprises of 6 ITU & 5 HDU beds. Critical care bed capacity will be increasing this year.
