As a leading provider of NHS Services in Surrey, we are passionate about supporting our staff to fulfil their true potential.
Hascombe Ward is a 23 bed general paediatric ward and Paediatric Assessment Unit at the Royal Surrey Hospital in Guildford. We provide care to children of all ages and their families with a wide variety of medical and surgical needs (ENT, Maxillo-facial, Ophthalmology, General surgery, and Orthopaedics).

We are proud of our team and the care we give - we want you to join us!
YOU WILL NEED A PAEDIATRIC NURSE REGISTRATION IN ORDER TO APPLY FOR THIS ROLE.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for a Junior Sister to deliver patient care on a daily basis. You will be expert in all areas of general paediatric nursing care from patient’s admission to discharge. You will be expected to carry out all relevant forms of care and be designated to take charge of the ward on a regular basis, in the absence of the person who has continuing responsibility.
As nurse in charge, you have overall responsibility for day-to-day management of your clinical area and for ensuring all care is delivered according to Trust policies and procedures maintaining associated records. You will manage, support and lead a team of paediatric nurses in the delivery of evidence-based family-centred care, which is of a high standard. You will assist the Senior Sister in the management of staff including appraisals, rotas and the supervision of learners. You will provide advice and support to parents/carers, relatives and members of the multi-disciplinary team.
Utilising clinical audit, research, supervision of practice and teaching, you will monitor and improve standards of care by efficient and effective use of resources and liaise with the Senior Sister at all times. You will provide leadership on the Trusts values and behaviours.
You will be responsible for the assessment, development, implementation and evaluation of patient’s care, without supervision and the teaching of other medical, nursing and non-nursing staff, including basic and/or post-basic students.
