Our Emergency Department is good, but we want to be outstanding, so we know there is much work to be done. What we are looking for are superb nurses who will help us achieve our shared aim and the absolute desire of providing the very best emergency care to our local population.

We want to employ motivated and dedicated nurses who are seeking a career in emergency and urgent care nursing and have the aspiration and hunger to work in this acute and complex environment. We want nurses who will enhance the enthusiastic, dedicated and passionate teams who are ready and waiting to step up to the future exciting challenges of emergency nursing.

We understand that it is the hard work, effort & dedication of our nurses that makes the difference for our patients, so in return we can offer you a state of the art working environment. The emergency department includes all individual high dependency stretcher rooms. A four bay resus room with state of the art equipment, a specific dementia suite, an area for close observation & a separate waiting area & specific rooms for paediatric patients.
