About the role

We have a fantastic opportunity for a Nursing Assistant to work across both our Myton at Home (Hospice at Home) setting and the hospice inpatient units.

However you identify, and whatever background you bring with you, we welcome you to apply. If there are any adjustments that would help improve your experience with Myton, we encourage you to share this with us.
