Lincoln, United Kingdom United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust Full time

An exciting opportunity has arisen within the Directorate of Nursing for a dynamic motivated individual with a passion for quality improvement and the desire to make a difference to patients in our care.

As a Quality Matron working in our Trust, you will demonstrate compassionate leadership and take responsibility for ensuring that your professional lead areas are driven across the organisation to improve standards and align to our Trust values.

This is a substantive post although would also be considered as a secondment opportunity.
- The Quality Matron will provide visible, accessible, effective transformational leadership to wards and departments within their sphere of responsibility, delivering Trust strategic objectives and Matron’s 10 Key Responsibilities as set out in ‘Modern Matrons - Improving the Patient Experience (DH, 2003)’ supplemented by the ‘Matrons Handbook’ (NHSEI 2019)
- Quality Matrons will work with other Matron colleagues, Ward Sisters and Charge Nurses, Senior Nurses and Clinical Leads, Business Managers and other colleagues to identify service and strategy developments which aim to deliver the highest quality of patient care, and maintain patient safety, in line with Trust aims and objectives.
- Support the on-going improvement and sustainability of high quality, safe patient care through active involvement in the ward assurance process.
- This will be achieved by supporting Ward teams and clinical area Nurse Managers in the development and delivery of their ward assurance achievements and ongoing improvement plans.
- The role will require a proactive involvement in the delivery of the organisational Quality Improvement strategy.

This is an exciting time to work within the Directorate under the leadership of a supportive Director of Nursing and senior nursing leadership team, get in touch if you believe you can make the difference and feel ready to join us in our journey towards outstanding care.

Our Trust is situated in the beautiful county of Lincolnshire and is one of the biggest acute hospital trusts in England, serving a population of more than 700,000 people. We provide acute and specialist services to people in Lincolnshire and neighbouring counties. We have an annual income of £643 million (20/21) and we employ nearly 8,500 people.

Our Board have recently agreed a new vision statement - “Outstanding Care Personally Delivered” - stating their ambition for our Trust to be among the best.

We also have a five year Integrated Improvement Plan setting out how we will achieve our strategic objectives, for patients, services, people and partners, the last recognising that our future success depends on our ability to ensure the Lincolnshire healthcare system is successful in achieving its ambition to help people live healthier lives and provide care closer to where people live.

Our latest CQC report increased our ratings for being effective and well-led from ‘Requires Improvement’ to ‘Good’. Our rating for caring remained as ‘Good’.

What should you do next?
