We’re looking for a highly experienced registered nurse with strong leadership skills and a track record of improving quality, patient safety and flow in an acute setting. You’ll be a visible, values‑led role model with the confidence to make decisions, coordinate resources and drive continuous improvement.
Responsibilities
* Providing senior clinical leadership, advice and support to maintain safe and effective patient flow across the site.
* Act as a visible, positive role model, demonstrating behaviours aligned to organisational and professional values and codes.
* Work with Trust colleagues to deliver national standards for emergency patient flow safely and on time, and to improve patient experience.
* Coordinate demand and capacity, including site and bed management plans, to support emergency and elective access standards, mixed‑sex accommodation, infection and safety requirements.
* Ensure an appropriately skilled workforce is available and deployed efficiently, supporting retention, development and innovation in practice.
* Coordinate complex workforce redeployment and nursing resource reallocation in response to changing demand, liaising with Care Group Matrons and Ward Managers as required.
* Build networks and partnerships regionally and nationally, sharing best practice and embedding learning within the Trust.
