Advanced Nurse Practitioner

An exciting opportunity has arisen for three Advanced Nurse Practitioners to join the Specialist Rehabilitation Service at Woodend Hospital. Our service provides specialist care and rehabilitation for individuals recovering from life‑altering conditions or injuries. The inpatient units include stroke, neurological, and orthopaedic rehabilitation, as well as vascular amputee and some elderly rehabilitation beds.

We are seeking candidates educated to Master’s level in Advanced Practice and assessed as competent at this level. This advanced role is characterised by a high degree of autonomous decision‑making, including assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and prescribing for patients with complex, multi‑dimensional needs.

Candidates who do not fully meet the essential criteria may be considered for appointment as a trainee ANP, provided they demonstrate the ability to complete the postgraduate diploma. Trainees would be expected to achieve the full qualification to remain in post.

The successful applicants will join a friendly, forward‑thinking team of ANPs and NPs who provide 24/7 cover for the rehabilitation wards at Woodend. The role includes day, night, and weekend working.
