Overview
We’re looking for aspiring leaders and clinically credible nurses to join our dedicated team in Suffolk as a Charge Nurse on Southgate Ward. This role offers you a chance to develop your leadership skills and progress your nursing career.
Responsibilities & Qualifications
We are looking for a registered mental health nurse with strong clinical expertise who is ready to move from staff nurse to charge nurse, or who already has experience to share in this field.
