We work closely with the whole MDT and have our own ward-based OTs and Physios.
Alongside the acute medical admissions, we care for some patients who require complex discharge planning and work closely with the social work department.
We are a friendly team who strive for perfection.
As a Band 6, you will be supported with any learning/development you may require.

You will frequently be the designated shift coordinator and will be expected to deputize for the Department Manager. You will support the ward manager to complete appraisals, assist with absence management, and clinical education. You will be supported to be an efficient Team Leader who can coordinate effectively whilst maintaining the highest standards of care and good team morale.
