About the role

This is a unique twilight position, with working hours falling between late morning and midnight.

You will be trained and rotated through all major departments including:

Surgical, medical, and oncology wards Admitting and discharging patients Emergency and critical care (as training progresses) Imaging and anaesthesia (with support and upskilling where required)

This is an ideal role for a nurse with a general practice background, some emergency care exposure, and a desire to step into a fast-paced referral setting while retaining a healthy work-life balance.

Dick White Referrals is located in a rural setting outside Six Mile Bottom, Cambridgeshire. There is no public transport access, so candidates must be able to commute by car or taxi. Free on-site parking is available.
