• Do you want to work with happy nurses and care givers who are empowered to make decisions about the best of care?
If you answered yes, then join our neighbourhood as we’ve got the perfect role for you!
Join our self-managing teams across Medway. This is a great opportunity for those looking to return to work and those who feel they no longer have the time to give basic holistic care to their patients.
