As a Registered Nurse, you will be responsible for delivering quality, individualised nursing care to our residents including complex care needs and wound and pain management.

• Flexibility and readiness to work across multiple sites, sometimes at short notice

If you want to join our inspiring team, we can offer you:

• Attractive staff benefits such as salary sacrificing

• Great team environment with variety in the role
• Ongoing professional development in a caring environment
