Our nine-bed Intensive Care Unit delivers Level 3 critical care within a modern and purpose designed environment, comprising four open bays, four private side rooms and a dedicated negative pressure room. We care for patients undergoing complex elective surgical procedures, including spinal, colorectal, thoracic, urology, reconstructive and advanced gynaecological surgery, while also supporting the care of complex medical patients across the hospital.

You'll be involved in caring for highly complex patients, making critical decisions, coordinating care pathways and helping to drive excellent outcomes from admission through to discharge.
Education, collaboration and continuous improvement sit at the centre of everything we do. Our Critical Care Outreach Team works closely with colleagues throughout the hospital, supporting deteriorating patients, facilitating safe step-down care and sharing specialist knowledge across services. This creates a learning rich environment where experienced nurses can continue to develop their leadership capability, strengthen their clinical expertise and shape the future of the service.

You'll work closely with consultants, senior nursing colleagues and multidisciplinary teams to drive service excellence, champion evidence-based practice and contribute to the ongoing development of our Critical Care Unit. Alongside your clinical responsibilities, you'll play an important role in mentoring and developing colleagues, supporting education initiatives, and helping to shape a positive and inclusive culture where people can perform at their best
