Deputy Sister/Charge Nurse - Stour Ward

Looking for a change? We could be the place for you.

An opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 nurse with proven acute hospital experience to work within Gynaecology giving the opportunity to work within the team to lead and change practice.

You will provide specialist knowledge, advice, information and education to patients, carers, health care professionals and relevant others.

Our Gynaecology unit provides 17 inpatient beds and an early Pregnancy Assessment unit caring for a wide range of elective and emergency Gynaecological surgery as well as early pregnancy complications, therefore an experience in Early Pregnancy would be desirable but not essential.

We are looking for an enthusiastic, dynamic nurse who is motivated and has a passion for delivering high quality care to join our team.

To effectively manage and develop a nursing team and provide professional and clinical leadership in the delivery of high quality, safe, cost effective care of patients, families and staff.

To work across the clinical area with nurses on a one to one/group basis to develop and enhance clinical skills and practice.

To deputise for the ward manager to ensure appropriate senior cover at all times.

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes.

We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff.

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options.

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services.

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients.
