Job Advert

An exciting and challenging opportunity has arisen for the post of Charge Nurse within the Orthopaedic Trauma/Surgical ward.  Ward 33 is 23 bedded ward with 13 beds for Orthopaedic Trauma and 10 beds for Surgical Patients.  Orthopaedic Trauma patients are admitted directly from the Emergency Department 24 hours, 7 days per week.  Though the ward is predominantly Orthopaedic since the first Lockdown the ward has had a variety of specialities which has increased the throughput and acuity of the ward. A mixture of specialities has identified the need for further support for the staff and junior team to learn and develop new skills. An additional Charge Nurse would provide assistance to the Senior Charge Nurse in the monitoring and prevention of harms and incidents, improve the patient experience/journey and aid in the education of staff.  The Charge Nurse would allow the ward to have senior cover more often facilitating the smooth running of a busy ward to ensure there is a high standing of person centred care.

You must be an experienced nurse who is a highly motivated individual, keen to be a role model with the skills to lead the ward team. This is an ideal opportunity for an experienced nurse who wishes to progress to the next stage in their career by developing their management and leadership skills further.
As a Charge Nurse, you will be committed to continuous professional development and possess excellent communication and organisational skills.  As an enthusiastic, dynamic and experienced Nurse you will provide strong clinical and practical leadership to the Nursing Team, whilst promoting partnership with the multi disciplinary team. 

Significant post registration experience is required.
