Registered Learning Disabilities Nurse (RNLD)

At Cygnet we want to enable our nurses to develop their careers with us and support them to continually enhance their professional expertise within our services.

We currently have opportunities in the South West at our purpose-built facility at Cygnet Hospital Taunton in Somerset.

Cygnet Hospital Taunton provides specialist inpatient services for older adults with mental health problems and for men diagnosed with a learning disability. The hospital also provides an acute inpatient admissions service for men over the age of 18.

If you have been considering a change, I would encourage you to look at this opportunity, and others within Cygnet, because we want to keep your considerable skill, knowledge and passion to help even more people.

Seize the moment, have a look and apply. It might be the best decision you make today.
