Introduction
Are you a Registered Nurse with neurological or respiratory experience looking for a new opportunity to work in an organisation that will help you to develop and achieve your goals to become the best you can be? If so, join our brand-new Lakefields Neurological Centre in Chigwell Essex.

Your career at Elysium will be enjoyable and rewarding as you develop specialist skills and make a real difference for some of the most vulnerable people in society.

Being a Registered Nurse at Lakefields is a career that you can take pride in and enjoy. It’s what delivering great healthcare should feel like.

What you will be doing

You will work as part of and lead wider teams alongside your therapy colleagues to deliver the individual care each person needs while maintaining accurate records.
