Nurse jobs in United Kingdom

Applications are invited from experienced Healthcare Assistants with specific experience in Acute Mental Health to join the Acute Inpatient team on the beautiful Island of Guernsey, in the Channel Islands.

The Unit is the only Acute Inpatient facility on the island of Guernsey, for patients experiencing severe symptoms requiring a period of inpatient stay.
