We are looking for a passionate and dedicated Ward Nurse to join our dynamic team at Swift Referrals, on a 12 month fixed-term basis. This is an exciting opportunity to work collaboratively with a variety of specialists and provide high-quality patient care in a fast-paced, supportive environment.

As a Ward Nurse, you will work with clinicians across all disciplines to provide hospitalised patients with the highest standard of individualised care.

We are looking for a candidate with excellent clinical proficiency, strong attention to detail, and a passion for delivering patient-focused care.
