We have an exciting opportunity for a Registered Nurse to join our friendly and supportive team here on New Forrest Ward. 

The nursing team on New Forrest have come together and grown over the past two years as a new ward for the trust, where we specialise in Diabetes and Endocrinology (D&E) mixed with acute general medicine.  

Here there lots of opportunities for building and improving new ways of working, building a bigger and better team, as well as learning opportunities for these specialities and we do this by working collaboratively.

With a great support network around you to be able to continue striving to be the best in what we do, this may lead on to specialist nursing in this area as well as other progression opportunities.

We are looking for highly motivated and innovative Registered Nurses to join our team, who can work a range of shifts that cover the 24-hour period across the seven day week. 

It is an excellent time to be joining us where you will have the opportunity to learn and develop new skills within a supportive environment, sharing knowledge and skills from a multitude of backgrounds and experience.

Working on the ward is both exciting and challenging but we work closely with all MDT colleagues, where you will be supported by your Band 6 co-ordinator, Medical team and Ward Manager.

We promote a positive working environment where the health and wellbeing of staff as well as our patients is our priority.
