What this job actually involves

You'll work in a busy ITU (Intensive Care Unit) at Royal Surrey County Hospital, caring for very sick patients and working closely with a team. This is a great role for someone with experience in critical care who is flexible and able to work varied shifts.

What you'll need

  • You must be a registered nurse (RGN) with the NMC (Nursing and Midwifery Council) and have at least 6 months experience in ITU in the last 2 years.
  • You'll need an Enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check and up-to-date mandatory training.
  • You should have strong critical care skills and be able to work independently and as part of a team.
  • You must be available to start immediately and have the right to work in the UK.

How to boost your chances

  • Make sure you're up-to-date with your NMC registration and have a copy of your Enhanced DBS check ready to go.
  • Review your critical care skills and consider taking a refresher course if you need to.
  • Be prepared to work flexible shifts, including nights and weekends.
