On Sky Ward, building specialist skills will set you apart.

Many of our patients are on long journeys to recovery, and so our nurses build strong relationships with them and their families.

It has 18 beds, including a four-bed high-dependency unit (HDU) where we are able to care for patients following complex surgery.
While experience in orthopaedic and spinal nursing is welcome, our patients have a variety of underlying medical conditions, including learning disabilities, so we welcome nurses from diverse disciplines including adult nursing.
We'll build on your professional development to date with high-quality training, including high-dependency nursing skills.
