About this role
Job summary
There are exciting opportunities within Cardiology (Full and Part Time) to join our highly motivated, dynamic and hardworking team within Specialist Medicine.
There has never been a better time to join our Cardiology team, we have a forward thinking management team who are fully committed to developing staff. Fantastic opportunities for learning will be given, such a specifically designed cardiology programme, with competencies tailored to meet the needs of our patients.
The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we aren't in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.
Main duties of the job
C1 is a 25 bedded Cardiology mixed sex ward, incorporating 11 telemetry beds. It is a busy, vibrant environment and we are looking for conscientious, motivated, committed, positive nurses to join our fabulous team.

When working clinically we expect you to perform with passion and drive, provide clinically excellent care, and be supportive to patients, relatives, and other MDT members. As a registered nurse you will be expected to promote and lead the delivery of an excellent standard of patient centred care in a supported environment.
