Job overview
An exciting secondment opportunity has arisen for the post of Deputy Ward Manager on Irwell ward at Moorside Unit, Trafford. This post places particular emphasis on patient centred care and therapeutic engagement, ensuring all aspects of direct patient care are delivered at the highest quality. A key element of this post will be to support and provide sound clinical interventions to service users and clinical leadership on a day-to-day, shift-to-shift basis for a group of staff in a designated clinical area. The post holder will work in collaboration with the Ward Manager to develop and transform the nursing care provision, ensuring that it supports and reflects service user mental health and physical needs, is culturally appropriate, and compliant with professional guidance.

The post holder will, in collaboration with the ward manager, ensure continuous clinical and professional development for ward staff through on-the-job coaching, mentoring, audit, regular supervision, and ward-based training of less experienced staff. The post holder will deputise for the ward manager as required and promote multi-disciplinary team working while leading predominantly on nursing issues and leadership. All staff working within our Trust should adopt our values and contribute to high standards of care, which includes: Being a quality inspector, never knowingly passing on a defect, error or risk to a colleague or patient, putting things right where possible, and reporting everything, especially where help is needed to put it right.
