Job summary

Are you looking for a new job opportunity in a dynamic, values led and supportive organisation? Does making a difference to patients and their families motivate and inspire you? If the answer is yes, this post could be the right career move for you.

We are seeking staff nurses to join our team on ward 4 at Coalville Community Hospital. The ward is nurse led which will give you high levels of autonomy and satisfaction in delivering excellent patient care, supporting rehabilitation, undertaking complex discharge planning and increasing patient independence and quality of life.

This ward has discharge to assess beds, providing sub-acute care and complex rehabilitation with a focus on assessing patients for admission to a residential home or return to their own home following an acute hospital stay. Our patient cohort is increasingly complex due to the need to facilitate transfer from acute trusts as soon as individuals are medically fit for discharge and to prevent admission from home to the secondary care sector.

You are welcome to visit the ward during the application process. If you would like to do so, please contact the name on this advert.

Applications are welcomed from students in their final year.

Free parking is available on site and a bus stop is nearby.
