Manchester, United Kingdom Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join our well established North Manchester General Hospital (NMGH) Corporate Team to lead as the Head of Nursing for Workforce, Education and Practice at NMGH within Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT).

The Role

We are looking to appoint an established and talented senior nurse to lead on the delivery of the Workforce, Education and Practice agenda.

Reporting directly to the Deputy Director of Nursing, the Corporate Head of Nursing role will have a specific responsibility of leading on driving change, empowering senior nurses to develop and utilise clinical leadership skills, and ensuring they have appropriate levels of authority to undertake their role effectively and fulfill their accountabilities including measurement of workforce metrics, improvement methodology and acting as a catalyst for change for the delivery of safe high-quality clinical care.

The Corporate Head of Nursing will put systems in place to monitor and continuously improve workforce standards through developing our people and growing our workforce to provide the best patient experience. You will be responsible for ensuring an evidence base is applied to ensure safe staffing and patient safety and looking for digital solutions to support the safe deployment and monitoring of NMAHP workforce.

You will provide professional leadership across care settings and be responsible for ensuring standards of nursing, midwifery and allied health professional care is implemented in line with the Trust's objectives of clinical quality and safety.

What’s more, you’ll support the development and implementation of group policies and will contribute to the NMGH-wide projects so expect huge variety in this role.

MFT is one of the largest NHS Trust In England with a turnover of £2.6bn & is on a different scale than most other NHS Trusts. We’re creating an exceptional integrated health & social care system for the 1 million patients who rely on our services every year.

Bringing together 10 hospitals & community services from across Manchester, Trafford & beyond, we champion collaborative working & transformation, encouraging our 28,000 workforce to pursue their most ambitious goals. We set standards that other Trusts seek to emulate so you’ll benefit from a scale of opportunity that is nothing short of extraordinary.

We’ve also created a digitally enabled organisation to improve clinical quality, patient & staff experience, operational effectiveness & driving research, and innovation through the introduction of Hive; our Electronic Patient Record system which launched in September 2022.

We’re proud to be a major academic Research Centre & Education provider, providing you with a robust infrastructure to encourage and facilitate high-quality research programmes. What’s more, we’re excited to be embarking on our Green Plan which sets out how MFT continues to play its part in making healthcare more sustainable.

At MFT, we create and foster a culture of inclusion and belonging, provide equal opportunities for career development that are fair, open, and transparent, protecting your health and wellbeing and shaping the future of our organisation together.

Diversity Matters

We’re looking forward to hearing from you
