The successful post holder will be expected to work peripatetically across the county to support all five teams.

The Community Matron will provide clear, visible leadership, strategic vision, and good clinical knowledge and experience of working within psychosis services or pathways.
As Matron, you will work closely with the locality leadership team to ensure that high quality care is delivered within your services and will provide professional leadership to the nursing workforce.
You will promote a culture of learning and openness and ensure clinical staff have the knowledge, capability, systems and support to deliver evidence based care and embed lessons learned in practice for the improvement of patient experience.
We are looking to appoint individuals who have a passion for their work and a track record of achievement in influencing colleagues and partners to deliver high quality care. We want inspirational and compassionate leaders who will develop their teams to provide outstanding care.
