Overview
This is an amazing opportunity for a senior nurse to develop their skills in a senior leadership position. It is an exciting time to join an organisation that is totally committed to anti‑racism and the development of its leadership across all levels.
The opportunity will enable candidates to apply their clinical and strategic expertise to enhance patient care and experience through a quality improvement approach. It will also empower them to lead specific improvement programmes and contribute to reducing health inequalities by promoting equitable access to high-quality care.
We are Proud to Belong at South West London and St George’s Mental Health NHS Trust. We have expert services, a rich history and a clear commitment to providing the best quality care for those with mental ill‑health. The Care Quality Commission already rates our services as ’good’ – we aspire to ’outstanding’. We are inclusive and diverse and strive to be actively anti‑racist. We want to attract people from all backgrounds and experiences to enrich the work we do together. We are proud to co‑produce and involve our local communities in all that we do.
This is a great time to join us. We are transforming the way we care for our communities to support our mission of Making Life Better Together.
