Mignot Memorial Hospital (MMH) is a small country hospital with a total of 22 beds. Of these, 14 beds are designated for long‑stay care, providing nursing support to island residents who live within the hospital. The remaining 8 beds are acute beds used for short‑term admission, assessment, and treatment. Patients whose needs cannot be met at MMH are transferred to the Princess Elizabeth Hospital (PEH) in Guernsey and, on occasion, to Southampton.

With minimal supervision, they will ensure the delivery of high‑quality care to patients. As an integral member of the nursing team, the post holder will demonstrate strong teamwork skills, collaborating effectively with the multidisciplinary team to meet patient needs and support the team’s objectives. They will also support the development of new or less experienced staff by sharing skills and participating in training and educational activities.
MMH is a unique workplace where acute and long‑stay patients are cared for together. This post offers a brilliant opportunity to learn, develop, and gain valuable experience in a dynamic and supportive environment.
