Senior Staff Nurse, Intermediate Care Service (Hospital@Home)
We are redesigning our community services model and implementing a new Intermediate Care Team and therefore an exciting opportunity has arisen to employ nurses to deliver an urgent community response service (provides care 8am to 9pm, 7 days a week).
