University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust is delighted to offer a fantastic opportunity to work with us.
Please see below for detailed job description of the role.
Main duties of the job
An exciting opportunity has become available in our Lymington outpatients for a band 6 Junior sister/charge nurse post. We are looking for a highly motivated individual who demonstrates great professionalism, has leadership skills they would like to further develop, and would like to be a part of a growing team. The right candidate will be integral to the growth of the team and the service.
This is a full-time position; part-time might be considered for the right candidate. Lymington outpatients provides a positive work-life balance with clinics currently running from Monday to Friday. Although this is an Ophthalmology outpatients position, knowledge and experience in ophthalmology is not essential—training can be provided. Strong leadership skills will be a positive.
Any successful candidate will have a period of time based in Southampton eye unit to support training, then a requirement of attending some sessions with the senior team in UHS to continue the collaborative work.
The successful applicant will be responsible for assisting the Senior Sister in the management of the Lymington eye OPD department, ensuring high standards of care are maintained and available resources are used efficiently. You will be able to demonstrate clinical expertise, acting as a role model within Clinical specialty and facilitating a good learning environment for staff and learners.
If you think this is the job for you, we look forward to hearing from you.
About us
University Hospital Southampton is one of England's largest acute teaching Trusts, offering a wide range of learning and development opportunities to support your career aspirations.
Located on the south coast with an international airport and direct rail links to London, Southampton offers an ideal setting to live and work, with the New Forest, South Downs, and Jurassic Coast.
We believe that using technology wisely shows strong time management and commitment to innovation.

At UHS we're committed to providing a flexible working environment where possible. Whether you are balancing family, study, or your wellbeing with your career, we want to support you so you can help our patients.
At UHS, we proudly champion individuality, recognizing that outstanding care is only possible with a diverse, inclusive team. We're committed to creating an anti-racist, anti-discriminatory environment where everyone feels valued, safe, and empowered to make a meaningful impact in our communities. We welcome applicants of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences to join us in building a healthcare community where everyone can belong, thrive, and contribute.
