We are looking for a highly motivated, responsible individual with a strong sense of accountability to fulfil this exciting role of Head of Nursing within the Cancer and Clinical Support Clinical Group. This is a senior nursing role providing leadership and direction to nursing staff within a designated directorate or site, consisting of multiple specialties located across Queen's and King George Hospitals, and other satellite sites.
You will work in a directorate triumvirate with the Clinical Director and the General Manager, with a particular focus on providing high quality, safe, well-governed, productive and cost-effective services which support the Trust in delivering its strategic objectives.
With guidance and direction from the Clinical Group triumvirate, you will contribute and implement Clinical Group strategy. This will include working with the Chief Nurse, Senior Nurses and Heads of Therapy Services to support, influence and guide the development and delivery of excellent nursing care.
You will be the professional accountable nursing leader across the directorate or site ensuring appropriate structures are in place to support and inspire staff at all levels encouraging innovation, excellence and succession planning.
The postholder will support the Clinical Group Director of Nursing / Midwifery / Healthcare Professionals and others in providing strategic and inspirational leadership that will create a caring, fair and open culture in line with our Trust values.

This role along with triumvirate colleagues will provide compassionate and inclusive leadership to those within their areas of responsibility. In addition, there will be joint responsibility and accountability with the triumvirate for delivering patient safety, financial targets, efficiencies, workforce planning and service delivery to improve safe patient flow within and outside the directorate.
