You will need to gain excellent skills to provide high quality care for individual patients and will utilise time management and organisational skills to contribute to the provision and smooth running of a high-quality city wide lymphoedema service., We are looking for an enthusiastic Band 5 or 6 nurse/therapist, with Wound care/Lymphoedema/Oncology/District/Acute nurse/therapist experience, to work in both an outpatient and community setting across 4 clinics.
