  • Skills in venepuncture, cannulation, ECGs, and catheter care are desirable
  • Willingness to learn and adapt in a dynamic clinical environment
  • Strong team player with a patient-centred approach
    We’ll also support you in gaining Immediate Life Support (ILS) certification and provide ongoing training to help you grow in your role.
