Registered Nurse – Ward 11 – General Surgery

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a registered nurse to join our general surgical ward 11 within the Royal Glamorgan Hospital in both part‑time and full‑time hours. The successful candidates will be required to have an interest in the management and care of surgical patients with excellent interpersonal and communication skills.

Staff will be required to be well‑organised, have strong time‑management skills and the ability to work as part of a team or on their own initiative with high standards and an interest in general surgery.

There will be opportunities for internal development as the University Health Board has a dedicated training and development department offering a wide range of in‑house courses. We also have close links with the University of Glamorgan to support your ongoing professional development, which you will be required to demonstrate as part of revalidation.

Welsh Skills Desirable: This post is advertised as Welsh Desirable. This doesn't mean essential; whilst the candidate doesn't need to have skills in Welsh, we’ll consider it an advantage when short‑listing and selecting candidates. This isn't ‘fluency’, just speaking & listening skills at Level 3 (equivalent to CEFR B2) or above. Level 3 means basic conversations with patients about their everyday health.

For more information, see ‘Welsh Language Guidance’ in the documents at the bottom.
