Job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced nurse with an interest in orthopaedic oncology and spinal surgery to work within the surgical nursing team on Ward 15 Annex.

This job involves working within a team that specialises in children undergoing surgery for both malignant and benign bone lesions. Working alongside our sister ward we also care for patients undergoing spinal corrective surgery and on occasions elective trauma and orthopaedic patients.

As a band 6 Nurse on the unit you will be responsible for leading a safe shift alongside other registered nurses offering advice and support to care for their patients.
