Job summary
Full time 37.5 hours per week. Permanent post.
We have an exciting opportunity for a Band 5 Registered Nurse to join our enthusiastic, forward thinking team.
Bolton Centre for Urology runs clinics Monday - Friday which includes flexible cystoscopies, prostate biopsies, intravesical chemotherapy, trial without catheters, catheterisation, flow rates, bladder scanning and aftercare of urological procedures.
The Trust appreciates and values the contribution international nurses bring to the NHS. We also understand the support overseas nurses need to gain full registration once in the UK (via OSCE) and therefore we only recruit internationally to fill nursing vacancies when we can ensure support is in place. At this present time we aren't in a position to offer that support and therefore will not accept applications from overseas nurses who only have Part 1 NMC registration. If that position changes in future we will clearly advertise our opportunities for international nurses to join our nurse team here in Bolton. Thank you for your understanding.
