Job summary

Set in a stunning Grade II listed Victorian building, the RHN provides adult person-centred services across the entire care pathwayfrom post-acute rehabilitation to end-of-life carefor people with complex neuro-disabilities and their families. Underpinned by a strong research and education framework, the RHN is more than a hospital; it is a vibrant community where residents engage in music, art, and holistic support to achieve the best possible quality of life.

The multi-disciplinary team is made up of a specialist consultant, nursing staff and a range of therapists, who care for people with complex needs on both a short-term or longer-stay basis. The post holder will work across the MDT to ensure a holistic approach and provide leadership and oversight of patient care and goal-setting.

We are seeking an enthusiastic, driven, and dynamic and nurse leader to join our friendly team whilst being able to be responsible and accountable for the provision of person-centred patientcare through the modelling of strong clinical leadership to nursing teams on Leonora Ward.

Being a motivated individual who is able to work autonomously or in a team, with a flexible approach to work planning and management and a can-do attitude, the Ward manager will create a learning culture, as well as developing and maintaining high standards of evidenced-based care through the development and monitoring of capabilities and performance of nursing and health care assistant teams.
