Main duties of the job

Our 47 bedded chronic haemodialysis unit is located at St Luke’s Hospital and we are focused on delivering renal replacement therapy to a diverse, multicultural group of patients from the City of Bradford & surrounding towns.  We are part of Bradford Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust  and so have the advantage of a  large multidisciplinary team  to liaise with, whilst maintaining our own individual identity.

We are offering an exciting opportunity for a candidate with a Level 3 Qualification, wishing to commence/ progress and/or  extend their experience in healthcare and gain knowledge & skills required to care for patients undergoing Haemodialysis.

This post will offer a Health Care Worker joining this specialist area of practice an excellent learning opportunity.
