Summary

We have Senior Staff Nurse secondment opportunities in our Acute Medicine winter ward.

Are you an experienced band 5 nurse who is ready to develop your leadership skills in a band 6 role on the winter ward. We have just launched our Band 6 Leadership Programme, designed to develop and prepare the band 7 Ward Sisters & Charge Nurses of the future. We will happily enrol you on this straightaway and it is transferable to any ward environment after.

Are you already a band 6 Senior Staff Nurse who would like to challenge themselves to a different environment for a short period? Secondments are great for a change or to try out a different speciality whilst safeguarding your current role.

If you are new to medicine, you never know - you might fall in love with it. The work will challenge you but it is so rewarding and takes a special person to do it. Are you that person?

This advert is open to all applicants with an active Nursing and Midwifery Council Personal Identification Number (PIN). This refers to an NMC PIN, which allows you to work as a registered nurse or midwife in the UK.

Please note, this does not include the Personal Reference Number (PRN) used during the pre-OSCE application process. If you only have a PRN, we kindly ask that you do not apply for this post.

• A Winter Medical Ward: would comprise beds on the St Thomas’s Site. The plan is to open December/January

In Acute & General Medicine we pride ourselves on our expertise in complex patient management and discharge planning. The variety and scope of care of a winter ward is no less challenging but meeting the needs of our diverse patient base is extremely rewarding.

Through strong clinical leadership the post holder will role model and support the team to promote excellence in nursing care, maintaining and improving clinical standards.

The post holder will ensure that all patients are treated with compassion, dignity and respect promoting best practice in the prevention of infection.

In collaboration with the Matron and members of the Senior Nursing Team, the post holder will be closely involved in the planning, delivery and implementation of patient care.
