PLEASE NOTE:

The start date for this post will be no earlier than May 2025.

This is a really exciting opportunity. We are looking to recruit to the post of Ward Manager to join our wonderful existing team to cover the elective surgical admissions ward 2B. This is an exciting opportunity to be influential in ensuring that we are providing a positive patient experience and in developing the successful candidate's career. The post holder will provide authoritative leadership to ensure the elective surgical ward continues to provide high-quality evidence-based care and plays its part in the reduction of the surgical waiting lists.

Candidates must be extremely motivated and committed to providing the highest standard of nursing care. They must be able to demonstrate how they have used their clinical expertise in not only the delivery of surgical nursing care but in their ability to improve the skills and knowledge of junior staff. They must be flexible, assertive, and confident and have the ability to provide expert clinical advice in a surgical setting.

You must be experienced in nursing patients within the surgical setting and should possess expert knowledge in surgical nursing and elective day surgery. Team leadership skills are essential including, but not exhaustive: roster & budget control, audit completion, datix & complaints management, recruitment, absence management.

Main duties of the job

The successful applicant will be expected to manage Ward 2B at Boston and be able to work closely with the Surgical Division and business units. The candidate will be expected to actively participate in the management of change, particularly in relation to the development of elective day surgery services to ensure that the elective surgical waiting lists continue to reduce.

About us

Lincoln Hospital is a thriving university city and with the opening of the medical school, it provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service. United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust has been granted teaching hospital status, after demonstrating evidence to significant teaching commitment. From now on it will be known as United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. Pilgrim Hospital is situated in beautiful countryside and serves the communities in the South Lincolnshire area. It provides all major specialties and a 24-hour major accident and emergency service.

Grantham and District Hospital serves the communities of Grantham and the local area. It provides ambulatory paediatric and accident and emergency services.

Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS) and United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust (ULHT) have come together in a Group arrangement, with the goal of improving the care provided to patients across the county. This will not constitute a formal merger of the two organisations, but will bring the Trusts together under a single Board and Executive Leadership Team, with the goal of improving the care that is provided to patients both in the community and in hospitals across Lincolnshire. Both Trusts will retain their separate statutory names and legal obligations. The Group will be known as Lincolnshire Community and Hospitals NHS Group (LCHG).
