Are you an experienced Critical Care Nurse? 

Are you looking to work in a state of the art Intensive Care Unit that has a strong reputation for providing exceptional health care?

If the answer is yes then this is the position for you.

The Intensive Care Unit (ICU) at Southmead Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust (NBT) is looking to recruit a Band 6 Sister/Charge Nurse.

NBT is a progressive and ambitious provider of health care services, delivering care to a large local population, with specialist regional services for major trauma, neurosciences, vascular, urology, plastics and burns, orthopaedics and renal services. With a turnover of £550m and 9,000 staff, our clinical teams have built a strong reputation for exceptional healthcare. Our acute services moved into a brand new, state of the art, hospital building in May 2014. This new 850 bed facility at the Southmead site offers patients single rooms with en-suite facilities, greatly improving privacy and dignity and reducing the spread of infection.

The 48 bedded ICU is now one of the busiest units in the country with a team of over 300 staff treating more than 2000 critically ill patients each year. Southmead ICU cares for emergency and elective patients from all medical and surgical specialities except cardiac, ENT and paediatrics.
