We are a small nurse led unit as as such the successful candidate will need experience and knowledge of surgery to ensure the safety of our patients. We pride ourselves in the excellent care we give which is reflected in our patient feedback.
Working in a small, busy and modern environment within elective day surgery will enable you to balance your work life, while feeling supported to develop both personally and professionally. The specialities offered are constantly developing to meet the needs of the local communities. Current surgical specialities include General, Urology, Breast and Gynaecology.
Stroud is a beautiful market town in a semi-rural position with the added bonus of being in close proximity to the M5 motorway and has train links to London, Birmingham, Bristol & the South West. The unit open Monday to Friday, 8am until 8pm with the bonus of plentiful, free on site parking.
