We have an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated nurse with excellent communication skills to join our team as a Senior Staff Nurse on our Sub-Acute Stroke Unit.

Our unit consists of 30 beds at South Bristol Community Hospital, which provides a purpose built rehabilitation environment where individuals who are ‘medically optimised’ can receive rehabilitation assessment, along with focused therapy and support from our multidisciplinary team, to support independence.

Working closely with the Unit Manager and alongside our supportive Band 6 team, you’ll play a key role in the smooth running of the unit, while developing your leadership skills and building your expertise in the rewarding and evolving field of Stroke Nursing.

This is a fantastic opportunity to grow as a clinical leader, make a real difference to patients and their families, and take your nursing career to the next level.
