We are currently looking for a dynamic and dedicated Deputy Ward Manager to provide clinical leadership for Ward 4 at Harplands Hospital.

The team is multi-disciplinary, comprising nurses, medical staff, a physiotherapist, and an occupational therapist.
The role of the Deputy Ward Manager is to provide support and assistance to the Ward Manager in ensuring the effective management and running of the service. This will include having specific responsibilities as delegated by the Ward Manager and will require the post holder to deputise for the Ward Manager as and when appropriate/required.
As a Trust, we remain bold and ambitious with plans for both service and system collaborative transformation over the coming years to improve the health and wellbeing of our local people through high-quality care.
We pride ourselves on ensuring our team has their wellbeing put first and as such provide a range of wellness opportunities including flexible working.
We are committed to the Greener NHS national ambition to becoming the world's first carbon net zero national health system by 2045. As part of this, sustainability is embedded in our strategy as one of our four key enablers. In order to deliver on this commitment, we recognize that we need a workforce that is as passionate as we are about achieving these goals, for the benefit of our service users, workforce, local communities, and the planet alike. For 2024/2025, we have launched our Proud to be Green engagement campaign which is aligned to the targets set out in our Green Plan. As a Trust, you can be assured that we will commit to supporting you in working towards our net zero ambitions, set out in our Green Plan, through our sustainability programme.
The Trust is committed to ensuring that a diverse workforce is representative and inclusive at all levels.
