    As a Senior Sister/Charge Nurse you will be expected to support and provide leadership to staff within the Emergency Department. Within this role you will have the responsibility for the day to day management of the department ensuring patients are managed effectively whilst meeting NHS Standards.

    We are looking for highly motivated Emergency Department nurses who can demonstrate a kind and compassionate attitude. To work with us you will be flexible, enthusiastic and passionate about emergency care and have the relevant skills and experience to lead an effective and efficient Emergency Department.
