Successful candidates will work alongside the ward based medical doctors, undertaken duties appropriate to their level of experience and competence, with the ultimate aim of creating highly skilled autonomous ANPs to promote high quality care, experience, outcomes and safe and effective discharge.
The ideal candidate will have experience of working within a fast paced Acute Trust and will ideally have experience working within Frailty. They will also want new challenges and to become part of an exciting and innovative multidisciplinary workforce.
All new colleagues can expect to receive a warm and friendly Wirral welcome from the very first time they make contact with us. We are described as “competent and caring staff” by our patients.
