An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Deputy Head of Nursing to join the Surgical, Transplant, and Anaesthetic (STA) Division. The role will provide clinical and operational leadership to the Surgery Department within the STA Division as part of a team with the STA Head of Nursing, Clinical Directors, and Operational Director. A key element of the role is setting the tone and modelling collective and compassionate leadership behaviours to build positive staff engagement and an inclusive culture to ensure our patients experience the best and safest care.

We are interested not just in your clinical excellence but also in your ability to be a visible, optimistic, and compassionate leader who will develop staff by understanding their needs and aspirations. We are seeking an experienced and dynamic nurse to join our leadership team in the Surgery, Transplant, and Anaesthetic division. This is an exciting role in delivering exceptional patient care, enhancing clinical governance, and supporting continued professional development for our staff. We also want to hear from you if you are as concerned about the lack of diversity at senior nursing levels within the NHS as we are.
