Job overview
Please note: This role is not eligible for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK at the time of application, as we are unable to support visa applications for this position.
We are a busy Acute Assessment Unit working between 2 areas within the Hospital. Staff move daily between areas and are involved in the admission of around 35 -40 patients per day.
It is a fast paced environment but highly rewarding. Training will be given once in post.
