About the Role

Are you a passionate and experienced Clinical Nurse looking for a rewarding role in a dynamic healthcare environment?

You will play a vital role in optimising patient safety and surgical readiness, with support from an anaesthetic consultant when required. If you thrive in a fast-paced clinical environment and are committed to excellence in patient care, we would love to hear from you!
