Imagine working somewhere where patients truly come first, your expertise is valued, and you’re part of a team that genuinely supports one another.

At The Horder Centre, we’re known for delivering exceptional orthopaedic care — and we’re looking for a compassionate, motivated and experienced Registered Nurse to join our Inpatient Ward team. This is a fantastic opportunity to build your skills and knowledge in a specialist environment where quality, kindness and collaboration shape everything we do.

What you’ll be doing
As a Registered Nurse, you’ll be at the heart of the patient experience. From admission through to recovery, you’ll deliver safe, high‑quality, individualised care while working closely with consultants, therapists and fellow nurses to achieve the best possible outcomes.

• Supporting and guiding junior nurses and new starters, helping them thrive
• Taking part in audits, research and service improvement initiatives
• Playing an active role in emergencies and out‑of‑hours duty nurse cover
• Ensuring the highest standards of infection control, safeguarding and professional practice

Who we’re looking for
You’ll be someone who brings both clinical excellence and genuine compassion to your work. You’ll enjoy working as part of a close-knit team and feel proud of the care you deliver.

You’ll have:

• NMC registration and a UK‑recognised nursing qualification
• UK-based experience
• A positive, caring and proactive approach
• Strong communication skills and confidence working within a multidisciplinary team
• A desire to develop your skills and contribute to continuous improvement
• Orthopaedic experience (desirable, but not essential)
• Highly experienced in an acute setting
