Maintain close communication with the Ward Manager on a daily basis.

Cultivate positive relationships with paramedical, ancillary, and support staff while serving as a clinical advisor to the multidisciplinary professional team.

Coordinate with Ward Sisters and universities to address the educational needs of students, untrained staff, and the post-basic development of qualified personnel.

Assist the Ward Sister in managing the clinical area by establishing nursing care standards and adhering to agreed-upon guidelines outlined in the ward's philosophy of care.

Acquire knowledge of budget control processes.

Ensure the promotion of safety, well-being, and the interests of patients, staff, and visitors within the clinical area.

Adhere to trust policies and keep junior staff informed of any policy changes.

Consistently follow the professional conduct code outlined by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC).

Provide advice on staffing requirements for nursing services, utilising dependency studies as needed.

We provide a full range of general hospital services and some aspects of specialist and complex care to around 600,000 people living in west Kent and East Sussex.
