An exciting opportunity has arisen for Band 7 Acute Care Senior Sister / Charge Nurse to join the nursing team working on our Medical Receiving Unit at King George Hospital.
Successful applicants will work with the multidisciplinary Acute Medicine Team, providing leadership, ensuring patient flow, high-quality care, and holistic medical care while supporting colleagues to raise standards of patient care.

We are looking for highly motivated, dynamic, and enthusiastic Registered Nurses with post-registration qualifications, excellent communication skills, and we invite applications from those nurses who relish the challenge of working within Medicine.
Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust (BHRUT) is one of the largest acute trusts in the UK, providing specialist trauma, oncology, neurosciences, hyper-acute, stroke, and critical care services. We are passionate about developing excellent and sustainable services, including developing our capacity to act as the main tertiary referral centre for North East London and Essex.
The Acute Medicine team at BHRUT spans across both Queen's and King George Hospital, with each site having one Medical Receiving Unit; Queen's Hospital has a 30-bedded unit, while King George is slightly smaller at 28 beds. From January 2021, we opened a new 30-bedded short stay ward at Queen's Hospital.
The role requires an expert nurse with sound clinical experience in all aspects of nursing care to teach and promote quality of patient care, from pressure area care to high-level acuity care, supporting and developing junior nurses to ensure competence in managing all patients and general aspects of care.
You must have knowledge and understanding of critically ill patients and experience of patient flow. You must have the ability to work alongside nurses and doctors to provide quality care to patients.
You will provide senior nursing support to clinical areas and patients and work with the Deputy Matron to provide a seven-day service. You will be required to support and deliver the quality agenda for the area, collate and report data, undertake audits, and disseminate good practice.
You will be expected to work autonomously, with staff management being a fundamental part of this role, supporting the Deputy Matron as expected. You will actively participate in and oversee patient flow and management of the clinical area.
You will act as a mentor, teaching and supervising junior staff and colleagues, including student nurses, healthcare support workers, medical staff, and AHPs.
