Deputy Ward Sister / Charge Nurse

Sherwood Forest Hospitals are seeking a dedicated and experienced Deputy Ward Sister to join our dynamic team. This is an exciting opportunity to take on a leadership role within our Surgical Assessment Unit and contribute to the development of our new Surgical Same Day Emergency Care (SDEC) unit.

In this pivotal role, you will be responsible for the day-to-day management of the ward in the absence of the Ward Sister/Charge Nurse. You will coordinate the delivery of high-quality care, ensuring that staffing levels and skill mix are effectively managed to meet patient needs across each shift.

If you are ready to take the next step in your nursing career and thrive in a fast-paced surgical environment, we would love to hear from you.

We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.

We put the patient at the heart of everything that we do and it is our aim to make sure that every patient is treated as we would want a member of our own family to be treated. At the same time, we expect our staff to be caring, kind and courteous to each other and to look out for each other. We believe that we are truly a clinically-led organisation.

We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as 'outstanding' for care and our King's Mill Hospital as the only 'outstanding' NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
