Junior Ward Sister

The Neurosciences Care Group is looking for an outstanding individual to join the nursing leadership team on the Stroke Rehab and Neurology Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary. Ward 11 provides patients from Hull, East Yorkshire and the surrounding areas with specialist rehabilitation for both Stroke and Neurology conditions as well as providing Acute Neurology care.

We are looking for a self‑motivated and dynamic nurse with excellent clinical nursing and decision‑making skills, allowing them to deliver a high‑quality service to patients.

The successful candidate will be responsible for supporting the Charge Nurse and working with the Nursing team in providing direct high‑quality patient care. It is expected that the junior sister will deputise in the absence of the Charge Nurse and ensure a positive patient experience through the delivery of high standards of patient care, ensuring the right care in the right place at the right time.

The post holder will be responsible for supporting the Charge Nurse in providing effective nursing leadership, supporting a team of nurses and ensuring the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC) code of conduct is at the forefront of the team’s nursing care. The post holder will also work closely with the Charge Nurse and the multidisciplinary team in the provision of a high standard of individualised patient care, thus improving the patient experience.

We would prefer previous Stroke/Neurology experience, but a passion and willingness to learn new skills to specialise in this field will be considered. You will be supported by the experienced Stroke and Neurology teams to develop clinical and managerial skills with a full training package. The hours of work will include days, nights, weekend and bank holiday cover on a rotational basis.
