Summary

We are looking for enthusiastic Band 5 Nurses with an interest in developing skills in Critical Care nursing to join our team at Broomfield Hospital in Chelmsford .

Existing ward experience can be built upon and new knowledge and skills can be learnt and developed.

From facilities through to consultant specialists we want to be the best, to achieve this we need to recruit not just those who are the finest in their field but also those who have the potential to be.
