Are you passionate about Women's Health?

The Early Pregnancy/Emergency Gynaecology Assessment Unit (EGAU/EPAU) have an exciting opportunity for an experienced gynaecology nurse to cover maternity leave. The post holder will be required to cover a 7 day a week flexible shift pattern including weekends and bank holidays.

Your base will be within the Emergency Gynaecology Assessment Unit 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***

Main duties of the job

We are looking for a dynamic and caring Registered General Nurse who is a great communicator, non-judgemental, passionate about women's health and can work using their own initiative.

The termination of pregnancy service runs from this area, so staff should be pro-choice.
