Staff Nurse - Cashes Green Ward

Be among the first 25 applicants to join our Nursing Teams within our Community Hospitals.

We have opportunities for highly motivated individuals who hold patient experience and care at the heart of their nursing practice and who share our organisational values. In return we will offer day-to-day support along with excellent training and a real commitment to your personal development plan with opportunities for continued professional development and study.

As part of the nursing team you would work closely with the wider Multidisciplinary team including Occupational Therapists, Social Workers and Physiotherapists, allowing the care we deliver to be holistic and patient-centred. We pride ourselves on delivering the highest quality care to our patients.

Vacancies at the following hospital sites

• Stroud

Further details of each site can be found in the Additional documents. As part of the application process you will be asked to state if you have a preference of site; however, there is an expectation that you will be able to provide cover for colleagues at other sites if needed.

We welcome applications from both experienced Registered Nurses and newly qualified nurses, and can also consider applications from individuals who would only be available to work night shifts. There are plenty of opportunities to learn new skills and further your career here at Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust.

If you are newly qualified, we are able to offer a supportive learning environment where you will be assigned a mentor to guide you through the first months of your nursing career. You will also be enrolled in our preceptorship programme, the first step in developing your professional development.

For the more experienced nurse, we will support you in your clinical and managerial development to become a more autonomous practitioner, by providing access to academic programmes. As a predominantly nurse–led ward this means you will have greater autonomy and ultimately gain more job satisfaction by providing the best patient care.
