This is an exciting opportunity to join the Clinical Site Management team at Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. Applicants must be Registered Nurses with extensive and current experience in an acute hospital setting. They should be patient-centred, possess up-to-date clinical skills, and have an understanding of current acute hospital performance indicators.
About the Team
The operations centre is often seen as the “hub” of the hospital, where many decisions and plans are made to ensure the hospital can meet the demands of emergency and elective patients. It is also where major incidents are managed and hospital internal management team meetings are held. The team covers all OUH sites, offering an excellent opportunity to expand clinical skills and knowledge.
What You’ll Do
You will gain valuable insights into how the Trust responds to the growing demands of emergency and elective patient flow. You will be an integral part of the team that ensures the Trust functions smoothly daily, primarily based in the operations centre, maintaining patient flow and safety at all times. You must be a quick thinker, a strong leader with excellent problem-solving skills, capable of making sound operational decisions in rapidly changing situations. A calm and pleasant manner is essential, especially under pressure.

As one of the largest acute teaching trusts in England, we offer numerous learning and development opportunities to help you achieve your career goals. We are committed to providing a supportive environment and flexible working arrangements, which can be discussed at interview.
