Charge Nurse/Junior Sister

4 weeks ago

Ipswich, United Kingdom East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Job overview

This is an excellent opportunity to develop your career by taking on the role of Deputy Sister/Charge Nurse on our fast paced Surgical
Assessment Ward. You will support the Ward Sister in the delivery of a patient-centered, clinically effective and dynamic service from the patient's admission assessment to discharge.

The Surgical Assessment Ward consists of an assessment unit and ward area with an assessment room and short stay surgical inpatient beds.
This is an exciting time to join as the surgical assessment unit is currently undergoing a refurbishment.

The unit is part of the same day emergency care (SDEC) programme where we deliver rapid assessment of patients including diagnostic and
treatment without being admitted to a ward. They can then go home on the same day if it is clinically safe to do so

Main duties of the job

We are looking for an individual who will support the ward sister in leading and developing the experienced nursing team in this department and
promote multi-disciplinary working.

You will provide inspirational leadership to the department, be positively welcoming, effective and act as a credible role model. You will have well-developed communication, change management and organisational skills, with a positive attitude and share in our vision and commitment to continuously develop and improve.

You should be caring, compassionate, forward thinking, well organized
and have a positive attitude towards flexibility and change.

If you think you have the passion to ensure the continued development of the surgical services the trust provides we want to hear from you.

Working for our organisation

We are ESNEFT and we provide hospital and community health services to almost one million people across east Suffolk and north Essex. Our dedicated staff deliver care from acute hospitals in Colchester and Ipswich, community hospitals, surgeries, community clinics and in patients’ own homes. 

We are one of the largest NHS organisations in England, employing more than 12,000 staff. 

We pride ourselves on supporting our staff. We offer a wide range of training and development opportunities, as well as flexible working options. 

Along with supporting you to achieve your career goals we offer a generous pension scheme, unsocial hours payments (where applicable), 27 days annual leave on commencement (pro rata) and access to a range of NHS discounts. Our Staff Health and Wellbeing programme offer a variety of services. 

Our philosophy is that Time Matters to everyone. Across the Trust, we concentrate on improving the things we do and removing those which cause time delays for our staff and patients.

We are investing in our commitment to Time Matters with a partnership with leading electronic patient record (EPR) supplier Epic. This digital transformation will bring what’s widely regarded as the world’s best EPR system to ESNEFT, transforming life in hospital for staff and patients. 

If you are passionate about patient care and want to develop your skills and knowledge, then we want to hear from you.
