An exciting opportunity has arisen for a registered nurse to join our team on Ward 5 at the Royal Glamorgan Hospital.

Main duties of the job

We are looking for staff who have an interest in supporting and treating patients with chronic and acute Gastroenterology conditions. We are looking for motivated, caring individuals who strive to achieve high standards of care for all patients.
