Job overview
We are pleased to announce an exciting opportunity for a Band 6 Sister/Charge Nurse within our Frailty Pathway. While the base post is on Ward 12 as Ward Sister, this role sits within the wider frailty pathway, meaning there may be opportunities to work across different areas within the pathway.
