Hove, United Kingdom Sussex Partnership NHS FoundationTrust Full time

Matron, Mill View hospital. Full time, Secondment or Fixed Term contract, Band 8a

With a heavy heart, we need to cover long term leave of one of our matrons who has operational responsibility for Brunswick and Meridian ward at Mill View Hospital. This leaves us with a really exciting leadership opportunity for a senior nurse to join our acute leadership team here in Brighton and Hove, Sussex.

Brunswick ward is a 15 bed acute dementia ward and Meridian ward is a 19 bed older adult acute inpatient ward. Both multi disciplinary teams are led by experienced ward managers.

We are looking for an experienced mental health nurse leader who is caring, compassionate and committed to lead on providing excellent care for adults and their families. In this role you would be responsible for managing, developing and supporting our acute care provision. This is a varied, dynamic role that would suit a forward thinking, energetic, creative practitioner with a passion for strong clinical leadership and governance combined with effective operational management.

To be successful in this role you will need to be an excellent communicator, a credible and motivational role model for nurses and keen to work in a challenging and rewarding environment. Acute services are fast paced and the matron role will frequently be confronted with competing challenges and demands. You will need to have a 'can do' attitude and be solution focused. You will need to be extremely well organised, hardworking, and to be able to confidently demonstrate your ability to manage crisis situations and to work effectively in a team.

The Trust aims to support staff in the delivery of high quality services as well as promoting research, innovation and co-production. There is strong clinical leadership with representation from nursing at all levels within the governance and leadership structure. As a university teaching Trust, we encourage and support research working with Brighton & Sussex Medical School and there are opportunities to get involved in research, teaching and management or leadership.

Covid-19 full vaccination may be a condition of employment for this role, unless an exemption applies. The successful applicant may have contact with vulnerable service users and we will therefore seek proof of being fully vaccinated during the recruitment process.

As a clinical and operational leader you would be working alongside a multi-disciplinary team including nursing, psychiatry, psychology, occupational & systemic therapy. Responsibilities will include:

- leading & supporting the ward managers and specialist clinicians.
- taking an active role in the day to day leadership of Regency ward, Rutland Gardens and the place of safety.
- Supporting with manging patient flow and creating capacity with the aim to avoid the need for out of area placement.
- ongoing development of the nursing team and clinical governance of nursing and supporting medical standards
- quality improvement initiatives; improving engagement of parent/carers whist working closely with the multi-disciplinary team
- building relationships with our key partner agencies including education, local authorities and the new provider collaborative group

The post will be supported by the Clinical Lead Nurse Manager and the trust wide senior nursing group to guide acute care and quality standards at a broader level.

This is a great opportunity to influence and shape the future of care for adults with mental health needs and to have a positive impact on the experience that patients and their families/carers have of mental Health services. You can look forward to working alongside knowledgeable and experienced nurses and multi-disciplinary colleagues, and also working alongside other services both within and outside of the Trust.

The role is predominantly 9-5 Monday to Friday with some flexibility required including some on call requirement.
