This full-time (40 hours per week) senior RVN position would be IDEAL for a highly experienced RVN who thrives in all departments within a hospital setting, and is ready to step into a senior role, supporting the various departments in the hospital including theatre, ward, consults and ECC.
Do not be concerned if you feel you excel in one department as oppose to another, if there are any gaps in training we will be happy to support you, whether that be in ward nursing, leadership training or more!
Wanstead not only has its own first opinion client base but also sees the internal referral cases from the surrounding branches in East, North and Central London, giving you a plethora of diverse cases a hospital RVN could dream of.
There is fantastic diagnostic support at Wanstead, with a CT scanner, a commercial laboratory, a strong medical team, and experienced surgeons routinely conducting advanced orthopaedic, soft tissue, and minimally invasive surgery on site.
