SOC 2237 is an eligible occupation, but we classified this role with low confidence (40% match). If the code is right — and Guy's and St. Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust is a licensed sponsor — it should qualify, but double-check the occupation eligibility rules against the actual role.
About the role
Band 5 Staff Nurse - East Wing 10 High Dependency Unit
Our Unit is looking for you!
East Wing 10 is a state-of-the-art, new and improved 15 bedded unit and we are looking for you!
We are looking for enthusiastic and energised nurses to join our friendly, welcoming team on this new venture to deliver high quality level 2 patient care. EW10 HDU is an integral part of the large and dynamic Critical Care department at Guy's & St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust (GSTT), caring for both surgical and medical patients. These are patients who have either been stepped down from Intensive Care, or those requiring a step up in care from ward level and the Emergency Department. These patients often require support of one or more organs, such as with non-invasive ventilation, renal replacement therapy and advanced cardiovascular support, all of which require close monitoring and observation.
The upgraded facilities and enhanced infection control measures will improve our ability to cater for the complex needs of critically ill patients. Guys and St. Thomas' are committed to investing in our hospital environments so we can continue to improve care and patient experience. This is one of several capital projects undertaken at GSTT that will improve facilities for patients.
