Are you an NMC registered nurse seeking an exciting new opportunity to learn specialist skills in renal dialysis nursing? You may have NHS experience or have worked in the private care sector, but whatever your nursing background, with the right attitude and aptitude we have an opportunity for you!

What does the role involve?

Being a dialysis nurse requires commitment and passion along with the skills and competencies to juggle the technical nursing aspect whilst providing holistic care. You will work autonomously, responsible for the assessment of care needs and the development, implementation and evaluation of care for dialysis patients with chronic kidney disease or acute kidney injury.

The unit operates 12 haemodialysis stations, serving up to 48 patients.

Thereafter, we continue to provide training and education opportunities which significantly exceed the CPD hours required for NMC revalidation, helping you take your career to the next level.

We offer a competitive salary up to £34,750. Progression through the pay scale will be underpinned by a Knowledge and Skills Framework (KSF) for each role, allowing employees greater career development potential, aligned to in house training programmes.
