A GWH unit charged with helping to get patients home needs new nurses.

A recruitment event this weekend will show-off the work of the special unit, charged with helping patients that need longer-term care.

The Swindon Intermediate Care Centre (SwICC) provides more focussed rehabilitation care - with patients often moved there following stays in the main hospital. 

The 60-bed centre is looking for new nurses, with managers running a recruitment event on Saturday. 

A spokesman for the Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, which runs SwICC, said: "Seeing a patient return home from hospital is a truly rewarding experience and it's just one of the reasons to consider a career with the teams who help people to get back on their feet after illness or injury.

"Sometimes patients, especially those who are elderly or with long-term conditions, need a little extra help to make sure they have everything they need to live independently in their own home."

The recruitment event is on Saturday, February 24, 10am-2pm in SwICC. 

Those who register for the event through the NHS Jobs website using job reference 249-SCH-021806 will also get a job interview on the day.
