We are seeking an experienced and motivated Heart Failure Specialist Nurse to join our established Heart Failure Service on a fixed-term maternity leave basis.
This role is ideally suited to a clinician who is already working within a specialist heart failure service and can contribute rapidly to the delivery of high-quality care across acute, community, and outpatient settings.

- Accountable for own professional actions and clinical decisions, acting as an advanced independent practitioner/decision maker.
- Ensure the efficient delivery of a specialist heart failure service, responding to changes in demand, being proactive in-service review.
