The Endoscopy Unit is a busy department providing care and procedures to patients requiring further investigations.  We have a very supportive multi professional team and you will be supported to achieve best patient outcomes.

Main duties of the job

Working in the NHS is not all about making other people richer or doing meaningless, boring and unrewarding jobs – it’s real work with real people.  It takes flexibility, commitment and compassion, but in return we can offer you a rewarding career where you can really make a difference.

With strong team working skills, you will be able to demonstrate the values that are important to us, communicating well with both colleagues and patients.  We are open to your ideas for how to improve the services we offer; without compromising on quality and always treating patients and team-mates with respect and dignity.
