Job summary
Are you the person we are looking for?
Melton Community Hospital is seeking a Deputy Sister/Charge Nurse to join our team. We are looking for someone who has sound knowledge and experience of the patient co-hort, good leadership skills, a proactive approach to problem solving and the ability to respond quickly to challenges.
The ward has 17 beds and is nurse led which will give you high levels of autonomy and satisfaction in delivering excellent patient care and increasing patient independence. The ward provides sub-acute care, palliative care and complex rehabilitation.

In the role you would be responsible for co-ordinating the nursing team and providing clinical leadership. In addition, you would assist the band 7 Team Leader in the management of the ward and ensuring high standards of patient care.
