About the Role
Mold Hospital, a busy community hospital at the heart of the local North Wales community, provides high-standard care to patients and their families while maintaining a strong focus on early discharge planning.
We champion the "home first" approach, ensuring patients access care closer to home—from admission onwards.

- Planning, implementing, and evaluating evidence-based nursing care for patients and their families in collaboration with the multidisciplinary team

- Working alongside nursing staff, healthcare support workers (HCSW), domestics, and administrative teams to deliver outstanding patient-centered care
