We are searching for enthusiastic and motivated staff nurses to join our Inpatient Services. We have individual specialised wards which provide care for patients over 65 years. Our dementia wards provide assessment and treatment for people of any age who have a Dementia diagnosis to enable a successful recovery back to the community or supported living environment. At present we have opportunities to work in either of these specialised areas.

This is an exciting and challenging opportunity to work as part of a dynamic team within the acute care pathway. This role would be of significant interest to registered mental health nurses with a specific interest in physical and mental healthcare of older adults.
