Summary
***Please note we are only able to accept applications from those with a live NMC registration as we are unable to support OSCE applications at this time***
A4 is a 35 bedded surgical ward specialising in colorectal and general surgery. A4 is busy and care provision can be demanding but it also offers a wide scope of learning opportunities. Within the ward footprint, our team also looks after patients requiring enhanced care within our Intermediate Surgical Care Unit (ISCU), where RN/patient ratios are adjusted to take into account patient needs. We bridge the gap between standard ward care and level 2/3 care.
We are looking to appoint dynamic Deputy Charge Nurses / Sisters to lead our well established team and support the Ward Manager in the provision of outstanding care to the patients under our direct and indirect care. We strive to promote a friendly and supportive environment where respect and learning from each other is paramount.
We are recruiting for 2 positions (1 on a permanent basis and 1 on a secondment basis for 1 year to cover maternity leave).
Is this the right challenge for you?
The ideal candidate will be able to lead a team to perform to a high standard and achieve the best possible outcome for our patients.
Alongside being expert clinical models, they will ensure effective working relationships and they will coordinate nursing and multi-professional activity within the clinical setting, ensuring that there is appropriate skill mix for the patient caseload within available resources.
They'll support their peers and teams with their professional development by leading by example and providing training and support that will enhance individuals capabilities.
Alongside or in the absence of the WM, they'll also support with management duties from achieving KPI's, sickness management, performance reviews, management of training compliance, pastoral support and so many more.
Again, are you ready to face this challenge?
Our teams work hard to be flexible and promote a health work/home life balance and so agile working options are automatically considered for all roles within the Trust. Talk to the Recruiting Manager about what this means in practice for you.
Your package with us includes a lot more than just your pay and here are a few of the additional benefits that are available to you as an employee:
• Access to the NHS Pension Scheme
