The team has a multi-disciplinary focus in order to ensure that patients are supported throughout their inpatient stay.
We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, highly motivated adult nurse with a passion for delivering high standards of care. The Unit receives patients from throughout the Greater Manchester region, accepting transfers in and out and therefore excellent communication skills are essential.

Your role will involve:
- Exceptional Communication: Showcasing your excellent interpersonal skills, building rapport and fostering trust

- Teamwork at its Finest: Collaborating effectively with all members of the MDT, contributing to a shared goal of patient well-being
- Empathetic Care: Demonstrating a deep level of compassion for patients and their families during their time of need
