Inpatient Staff Nurse - Evington Centre

Are you looking for a new job opportunity in a dynamic, values led and supportive organisation? If the answer is yes, this post could be the right career move for you.

We are interested in hearing from people who are motivated and confident and really want to make a difference to our patients experience of being in hospital and their eventual health outcomes. Beechwood Ward is a physical health ward based at the Evington Centre. The ward has 24 female beds and is nurse led which will give you high levels of autonomy and satisfaction in delivering exceptional care to patients with sub-acute needs, supporting rehabilitation, undertaking complex discharge planning and improving patient independence and quality of life. 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.
