Are you passionate about Women’s Health?
The Early Pregnancy and Emergency Gynaecology Assessment Unit (EPAU/EGAU) have an exciting opportunity for an experienced early pregnancy / gynaecology nurse to move forward into a band 6 position to cover maternity leave for 12 months.
The post holder will be required to cover a 7 day a week flexible shift pattern including weekends and bank holidays.
Please be aware, at present the unit working hours are Monday-Friday 0800-1800 and weekends and bank holidays 0800-12.00. However, these working hours may change in the future to improve the service.
Your base will be within EPAU/EGAU at Peterborough City Hospital, but all staff are asked to support services in other departments and at other Trust sites as needed.
* Please note we are only able to accept applications from those with a live NMC registration or UK nursing students awaiting their PIN as we are unable to support OSCE at this time*
