About the Role
The Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Service at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust supports people living with MS across the local area, offering practical, clinical and emotional support throughout their journey. Our MS Team work closely with Neurology, Rehabilitation, and other members of the multidisciplinary team to ensure patients receive joined-up, high-quality care.
It's an exciting time to join us. MS treatments are rapidly evolving, and our service is expanding to reflect these advances. We are looking to expand the service in response to increasing demand, while also developing our capacity to support the introduction and delivery of new therapeutic options.
We are looking for a committed and motivated Band 7 Nurse to join our friendly MS team. Significant post-registration experience and knowledge of MS and Neuroscience are essential, along with a willingness to learn and a positive, 'can-do' attitude. This role within a multi-professional environment will challenge you to innovate in your field, push forward, and act as a role model for high standards of care through clinical practice.
Independent prescribing is highly desirable for this role but is not essential, and candidates without a prescribing qualification are equally encouraged to apply.
