We are looking to recruit an enthusiastic Staff Nurse with a strong commitment to providing high standards of quality care with a caring and compassionate attitude.

- You will work closely with patients, their families, and the wider team, making sure any changes in a patient’s condition are acted on quickly.
- You will act professionally, follow nursing standards, and speak up for patients to protect their dignity and wishes.
- You will help teach and support junior staff and students, while also keeping your own skills and training up to date.
- You will help lead the team, manage your workload, and make sure the ward runs safely and smoothly.
- You will communicate clearly with patients, families, and colleagues, keeping accurate records and sharing information in the right way.
Our Poppy’s Promise Commitment
We believe that compassionate care sits at the heart of everything we do. Every member of our team — clinical or non-clinical — plays a vital role in ensuring that patients, families, and colleagues are treated with dignity, empathy, and respect at all times.
We expect all staff to demonstrate compassion not only through their words, but through their actions: by listening attentively, communicating clearly and kindly, and recognising individual needs, feelings, and circumstances of those in our care.
Effective communication is central to safe and high-quality healthcare. We value colleagues who take the time to understand others, explain information in a meaningful way, and respond to concerns with patience and understanding.
By joining our team, you are committing to uphold these values — ensuring that every patient feels heard, respected, and valued, and that compassion is embedded in every interaction, every day.
Hospital Transformation Programme (HTP)
Our Service will relocate to The Royal Shrewsbury Hospital in 2028 as part of HTP. This move will bring specialist services together in a modern, purpose-built facility to improve patient care and team experience.
We are actively recruiting, and successful candidates will be expected to move with the Service in early 2028. The relocation will follow a formal management of change process, including full consultation and support for staff.
