Summary
Can you imagine being a vital part of a team? All wards and ENDOSCOPY units are special for their own reasons, however we'd be lying if we said, we didn't think that the Endoscopy unit at CDH was an extra special unit to work on and you can be part of the team!

Working with us gives you the knowledge and sense of pride that every activity you do genuinely does make a difference to support our patients & staff, ensuring we keep thriving & delivering outstanding healthcare right across our local towns.
You’ll have access to varied development opportunities, learn new skills, meet fab people & do things you’d never have done. You’ll learn about working in a hospital, interacting with people from all different roles to build skills & enhance your career path.
You’ll make an impact, be challenged to think differently, be bold & help innovate to keep improving things. Everything we do centres around patient care which means your role is pivotal and something really to be proud of.
