The unit has been under a significant change process recently with the creation of our "medical rapid assessment and treatment area" allowing us to care for the "medical take" in the unit for the first time in years. AMU is a fast paced high energy ward, seeing large amounts of patients who are often undifferentiated in their care journey.

We have created a new senior role for the unit of a Sister or Charge nurse who will run the shift (days and nights). UIf you have significant experience in leadership and managing a busy environment this this role may be for you.

Current NMC registrant.

Post registration education qualification (or working towards) and mentorship qualification.

• Exercise leadership skills to act as a catalyst for change.
• Develop and co-ordinate effective team working.
• Communicate on a regular basis with team regarding trust objectives, plans & business developments.
