Job summary
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join a friendly, forward-thinking team in a 9-month fixed-term role covering maternity leave on Ward 23 and the Cardiac Intervention Unit (CIU).

Ward 23 is a unique Cardiology inpatient ward with 19 beds, caring for patients following acute cardiac events and those undergoing continued investigation and treatment. We also have four side rooms offering private cardiac care.

As part of this role, you'll also have the opportunity to rotate into the Cardiac Intervention Unit (CIU) - a day-case elective unit managing up to 16 patients pre- and post-procedures, including angiograms, pacemaker insertions, and cardiac ablations.

No two days are the same, and you'll benefit from strong links with the wider cardiology services, including specialist nurses and the research team.

We are seeking dynamic, motivated, and compassionate nurses with a genuine interest in cardiology. You'll be committed to delivering the highest standards of patient-centred care and keen to develop your clinical skills in a supportive and progressive environment.

This is a fantastic opportunity to:
  • Develop cardiology-specific clinical experience
  • Work within a diverse and friendly multidisciplinary team
  • Gain exposure to both inpatient and elective cardiac care pathways

If you're a nurse looking for an exciting short-term role with development opportunities and variety, we'd love to hear from you.

A UK active NMC is required.

Main duties of the job
What can we offer you?
  • Excellent team spirit, engaging in outside social activities.
  • Positive culture where everyone's voice is heard.
  • Practice Educator within the Directorate.
  • Regular in house teaching and education opportunities.
  • Development opportunities within the Cardiology directorate.
  • Friendly and approachable staff.

Improve existing and learn new clinical skills and competencies
