England, United Kingdom St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Full time

The Site Deputy Chief Nursing Officer (DCNO) is required to work at pace to support the Site Nursing and Medical Leadership Team and regularly interact with healthcare professionals and patients. Consequently, the DCNO may need to work long hours, including weekends and holidays, depending on the needs of the hospital.


As an integral part of the professional nursing senior leadership team they will work proactively with senior colleagues to provide professional leadership and support operational delivery of services at Site with strategic oversight and support from a lead at Group.


They are responsible for supporting the Site CNO with overseeing and coordinating the hospital's nursing department and its daily operations. Together the Site DCNO and Site CNO's primary focus is on Site leadership for day to day operational issues and the provision of support to Group Corporate Functions, Site Nursing and Medical Leadership and Site clinical divisions.


Together with the Site CNO they are responsible by working in partnership with Group colleagues for the delivery of all nursing strategies with reference to 12 service functions which will be managed and overseen at Group.


Led by the Site CNO, the DCNO and Site Nursing Teams are responsible for day to day quality and safety on site, alongside the Site Chief Medical Officer (CMO). The Site DCNO and Nursing Teams are accountable for operational service delivery on Site in conjunction with the COO and CMO as directed by the Managing Director.


The Site Deputy CNO will support the Site CNO and work in partnership with Group to provide collective leadership of Professional Nursing, Midwifery and Allied Healthcare Professionals in all 12 Corporate Nursing Functions.
After many years of collaboration and creating closer working ties, Epsom and St Helier University Hospitals NHS Trust and St George's University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust formed a hospital group and appointed a Group Chief Executive in August 2021 (following the appointment of a Chairman in Common in 2019) and a single executive team in January 2022.


Working as a hospital group under one executive leadership team allows for more joined up decision making for local people, a larger and more resilient clinical workforce, reduced variation in care and access to a wider range of services for our patients.
