Job summary

We are looking for a committed paediatric nurse with leadership and organisational skills, a vision to provide a quality service and to maximise a positive patient experience in this established service.

As a Sister/Charge Nurse in children's services, you'll be joining a diverse and stimulating department. Our work is wide ranging and we are well respected both locally and as a regional specialist treatment centre. We provide excellent care across medical and surgical specialities.
