We are offering an exciting opportunity for a band 6 Sister/charge nurse to come and join Amber A team. The ward's specialty base is trauma and orthopaedics. Queens Hospital is a centralised trauma centre with a regional neuro unit, making it a busy hospital where you will gain valuable experience. We are looking for a highly motivated candidate to join our specialised team. Amber A is part of the surgical care group, and we believe in empowering our workforce and ensuring that your opinion is valued. We seek a candidate who has the patients' best interests at the heart of their daily care and is looking to join a successful multi-disciplinary team. We have a strong focus on personal growth and development, with a dedicated practice development nurse to provide support. They will offer educational and clinical support including group sessions, training, one-to-one development, and simulation training. Amber A has recently achieved silver in the ward accreditation programme. We welcome informal visits or virtual conversations with our Band 7 ward manager. If you would like to arrange these, please contact us. Main duties of the job
Provide focused leadership and manage the staff and activities of the ward or clinical area as a ward-based leader. Act as a role model, provide leadership, and coordinate the ward team in the clinical area. Demonstrate advanced clinical specialist skills to provide the highest standard of individualised evidence-based patient-centred care while supervising the work of others (in line with local and national standards). Be responsible for the ward/clinical area. About us
We're an organisation that is improving continuously. We were the most improved Trust in England for A&E performance in 2023/24; we're no longer in special measures; and our Chief Executive, Matthew Trainer, has been named the top CEO by the Health Service Journal. Our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we're proud of and that our patients appreciate. Many of our 8,000 staff come from 146 different countries and live in the three diverse London boroughs we serve, with the majority from black, Asian, and minority ethnic groups. Over 400 of them are on apprenticeship programmes, and we're proud to be a London Living Wage employer. We operate from two main sites - King George Hospital (KGH) in Goodmayes and Queen's Hospital in Romford. We have two of the busiest emergency departments in London, with more than 300,000 people visiting our A&Es in 2023. Patients across north east London are benefiting from two new state-of-the-art theatres at KGH, and our Community Diagnostic Centres at Barking Community Hospital and St George's Health and Wellbeing Hub will significantly increase the number of scans that can be carried out. We're looking forward to introducing an electronic patient record next year, making patient records accessible to clinical teams across the seven hospitals run by BHRUT and Barts Health.
