Candidates will be problem solvers, be innovative, have excellent communication skills, can work autonomously and be able to prioritise, organise and delegate work across the team.
We work a cross service model of working so you will have the opportunity to spend time and work with our other clinical teams (Children’s Continuing Care, Inclusion Nursing Team and Children’s Nursing Team) which on occasions you will be asked to support.
