Job description

Inpatient Deputy Sister / Charge Nurse - Melton

Melton Community Hospital is seeking a Deputy Sister/Charge Nurse to join our team.

We are looking for someone who has sound knowledge and experience of the patient cohort, good leadership skills, a proactive approach to problem solving and the ability to respond quickly to challenges.

The ward has 17 beds and is nurse led which will give you high levels of autonomy and satisfaction in leading a service, delivering excellent patient care and increasing patient independence. The ward provides sub-acute care, palliative care and complex rehabilitation.

Our cohorts of patients are increasingly complex due to the need to facilitate transfer from acute trusts for individuals who are medically fit for discharge and to prevent admission from home to the secondary care sector.

The role would suit an existing adult trained band 6 nurse or experienced adult trained band 5. In the role you would be responsible for co-ordinating the nursing team and providing clinical leadership. In addition, you would assist the band 7 Ward Sister in the management of the ward and ensuring high standards of patient care.

You are welcome to visit during the application process to give you an insight to the area. If you would like to arrange a visit, please contact - [e-mail]

Free parking is available on site.

The Trust encourages a healthy work life balance and flexible working opportunities are available.
