Job overview

Are you passionate about patient care and dedicated to making a difference? We're looking for Registered Nurses to join our dynamic team at King's Mill Hospital.

We are seeking first level registered nurses to work in our Discharge Lound. You'll need to demonstrate excellent communication and organisational skills and an understanding of individualised patient care.

Patients are transferred to the Discharge Lounge from the Emergency Department, Admission Units, Inpatient Medical/Surgical Wards, Day Case, and Clinic areas.
