Job overview
Come and join our Skylark ward as a Registered Nurse, working as flexible as you want around your busy lifestyle. We are looking to join bank Nurses to support the current Skylark team who place children and families at the heart of everything they do.
Perhaps you have recently taken a break from the NHS and would like to ease back in by picking up the odd shift? Or you are looking to develop your career on a children's ward but would like to trial the busy ward environment first. We would love to hear from you and see how we can support.
