An opportunity has arisen for an experienced and dedicated surgical nurse to join our team. Your leadership will guarantee the delivery of high quality care from admission to discharge. Within the principles of the Modern Matron framework, your key role will be to ensure clinical quality standards are consistently achieved, by providing inspirational and visible clinical leadership to both the emergency and elective surgical pathways and to the Business Unit, supporting them in assuring the delivery of a contemporary, high quality, safe, effective and evidenced based care. Working with other Clinical Matrons, colleagues and other key staff within the Division and across the Trust as the custodian of patient experience, you will ensure patients, staff and the Trust have confidence in your area of responsibility.

• Compassionate leadership to ensure the development and sustainability of high performing teams.
• Broad clinical understanding and experience to ensure breadth of knowledge enabling resourcefulness, resilience and clinical leadership.
• Drive and ambition with a will to succeed.
The Clinical Matron will have enhanced surgical clinical skills and provide clinical expertise both within their own clinical environment and across the organisation as necessary to support the Organisational Strategy in the achievement of professional, operational and clinical governance objectives. This will involve being responsible for the development and implementation of service improvement and/ or policies in their area of expertise. The Clinical Matron will work closely with clinicians, OSMs and Divisional Chief Nursing team to provide day to day professional leadership with a significant focus on improving the experience and care for patients.
