We are seeking an experienced, compassionate, and motivated Band 6 Sister/Charge Nurse to join our Acute Stroke Unit team. The successful candidate will provide visible clinical leadership and operational management, ensuring the delivery of safe, effective, and high-quality patient-centred care for patients recovering from stroke. Working closely with the multidisciplinary team, you will coordinate the day-to-day running of the ward, oversee patient flow, and support the delivery of evidence-based stroke care in line with national standards and Trust objectives.
As a key member of the ward leadership team, you will lead, support, and develop nursing and support staff, promoting excellence in clinical practice, patient safety, and patient experience. You will work in partnership with the Senior Sisters to monitor and improve quality and safety indicators, including falls prevention, pressure ulcer prevention, healthcare-associated infections, nutrition, hydration, and documentation standards. The post holder will actively contribute to clinical governance, audit, quality improvement, and service development initiatives, representing the ward at governance and quality meetings in the absence of the Senior Sister. This is an excellent opportunity for an enthusiastic nurse leader to influence practice, drive improvements in care, and support the delivery of outstanding outcomes for stroke patients and their families.
