We are recruiting for a Nurse Team Manager who shares our vision to be trusted to provide consistently outstanding care and exemplary service to our patients.

You will be responsible for actively managing assessing and coordinating the provision of high-quality care daily to meet agreed departmental and professional standards.

This is a hugely exciting time to be joining the Emergency Department at East and North Herts Trust. We have recently launched an ambitious new build to facilitate the developments around GP streaming and delivery of an Urgent Treatment Centre and we see the senior nursing team as integral to the success of this programme.

We are seeking an experienced ED Nurse who is ready to develop into a credible and knowledgeable leader of a busy Emergency Department who can adapt to continually changing situations whilst promoting the highest quality patient care.

This post will require rotation onto night duty.

At the heart of everything we do are our core values: Include, Respect, and Improve. We encourage you to embrace these values throughout the recruitment process and in your role with us.

The post holder will work in conjunction with the other Band 7 staff, provide leadership, advise, and support to the patients attending the department, the services provided by the department.

You will actively participate in staff appraisal, not only for themselves, but also for others, by setting objectives and learning outcomes in consultation with the Lead and Senior Nurse in working to the requirements of the NHS Plan.

You need to be an enthusiastic leader who is passionate about improving service delivery, which ensures we are meeting the needs of patients who require our service whilst meeting the national standards.

You will be required to demonstrate sound clinical knowledge relating to emergency care.

At East and North Hertfordshire Teaching NHS Trust, we are proud of the range of general and specialist services we provide and our 6,000 or so dedicated staff ensure our patients get the best care. Our ability to be flexible and innovative in the way in which we work and deliver our services to our catchment has never been more important than it is now.

We run the following hospitals:

• The Lister Hospital, Stevenage
• New Queen Elizabeth II (New QEII), Welwyn Garden City
• Hertford County, Hertford

We have ambitious plans to become an outstanding, patient-led Trust where dedicated staff provide high-quality, compassionate care to our patients. We continue to undergo significant transformation and our staff and patients are at the heart of delivering this ambitious agenda.

We are committed to a positive work life balance for our employees. This means that any employee is entitled to seek to work flexible working patterns and we are committed to listen and consider all requests. Such requests, of course, have to be made and considered formally, and will need to be balanced against service needs, but our starting point will always be to find ways to support making them happen.
