Employer heading
Sister/Charge Nurse
NHS AfC: Band 6
Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust is a friendly, integrated healthcare provider focused on improving the life chances and health outcomes of our diverse population.
We have three strategic objectives:
People: To cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff;
Patients: To be good or outstanding at everything we do;
Population: To work seamlessly with partners to improve lives;
We run services from Sandwell, City and Rowley Regis Hospitals, Birmingham & Midland Eye Centre, Birmingham Treatment Centre, the Lyng and Leasowes Intermediate Care Centre. Our GP practices and community teams provide care in schools, healthcare centres and at home.
Our next milestone is opening the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), a once in a career opportunity to shape care transformation within and beyond the hospital walls.
Developing and caring for our People is fundamental. We were one of the first Trusts to provide the Real Living Wage, as well as a Live and Work scheme to support people at risk of homelessness into paid work and training. We offer a range of staff benefits, health & wellbeing support and will help you to bring your ambition to life through our bespoke training and development programmes. As “People” is one of our three strategic objectives, we make a continued commitment to prioritise support for all our colleagues.
Healthcare services have a significant impact on the environment. We are committed to embedding sustainable practices. We expect all colleagues to support the delivery of our Green Strategic Plan and to drive positive changes in their department.
Job overview
Are you looking to further develop your Leadership in Critical Care? If so, then please read on as Sandwell & West Birmingham NHS Trust wants to invest in you.
We are looking to recruit committed Band 6 Sister/Charge Nurses with previous Critical Care experience and completion of the Adult Critical Care Course to join our team. This post is an excellent opportunity to advance your clinical leadership knowledge and skills further within the critical care specialty.
Main duties of the job
For this post, a strong understanding of current issues in healthcare is essential alongside experience of direct involvement in improving patient safety, risk reduction, the management of evolving clinical situations, and the development of others. An essential element of this role is leadership, and the candidates must be able to demonstrate they are developing their leadership skills and are forward thinking.
We are a dynamic service incorporating Outreach, Follow up Support Service, Nursing workforce, medical workforce and Advanced Critical Care Practitioners. This is supported by a Professional Development Team working in collaboration with the wider multidisciplinary team.
Supported by an enthusiastic and dynamic senior leadership team, we actively encourage your professional and personal development, through a professional team structure and can offer opportunities to access post graduate education including Advanced Life Support.
Working for our organisation
Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust (SWBT) is an integrated care organisation with a budget of approximately £600 million and over 7,000 staff. Diversity and social care is at the core of what we do as the Trust provides Community and Acute Services to over half a million people in an urban centre that demands massive regeneration and has substantial premature mortality.
Our new acute hospital, the Midland Metropolitan University Hospital (MMUH), opens in 2024 and will provide care to our local population from first class, purpose-built premises. As a result, the base of this role may change to MMUH from 2024 (or beyond). If this is applicable to your role, you will be informed during the recruitment process and continuing your application with this understanding. The development of the new hospital will play an important role in the regeneration of the wider area and in improving the lives of local people and reducing health inequalities.
We have three newly emerging strategic objectives:
- Our People – to cultivate and sustain happy, productive and engaged staff
- Our Patients – to be good or outstanding in everything we do
- Our Population – to work seamlessly with our partners to improve lives
