You will be responsible for ensuring the continuous management of the ward, and working with the matrons, multidisciplinary team, ward staff and other areas within the service and CMG and you should be adaptable and responsive to changes in service needs to ensure they are met.

Take 24 hour responsibility and accountability for the given area, visible, accessible and responsive to the needs of service users, patients, carers and the public.

Provide direction, effective and inspirational leadership to the nursing, admin., and multidisciplinary team (including ancillary and clinical staff) within the area for which they are accountable.

Be responsible for ensuring high standards of infection prevention and control are practiced at all times.

Act as an expert clinical practitioner providing through themselves and their team an excellent quality of care to patients and service users.

Act as a clinical and managerial role model within the department team, CMG and across the wider organisation.

Take responsibility for the provision of a supportive learning environment for all students on placement within the department for which they are responsible.

Practice clinically in the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of care for a defined caseload. Be clinically based and practice clinically at least 50% of their working time

Our new strategy, developed with the support and feedback of colleagues, patients, and partners, is our compass for the next seven years (2023-2030).

We Have Four Primary Goals

  • high-quality care for all,
  • being a great place to work,
  • partnerships for impact, and
  • research and education excellence

And we will embed health equality in all we do - taking active steps to reduce the avoidable differences in healthcare that some people face, working in partnership with communities.

Our strategy is underpinned by new values and we will work to ensure they are an everyday reality for all:

  • we are compassionate,
  • we are proud,
  • we are inclusive, and
  • we are one team

This is an exciting moment as we look to the future with clarity on what we already do well and where we need to focus our energies to make an even bigger difference for the people we serve.
