Job description

Job responsibilities

As Ward Manager, you will lead one of the most rewarding and meaningful services in healthcare. Working at the heart of our Hospice Inpatient Unit, you will inspire and develop a talented team, ensuring every patient and family receives care that is compassionate, individualised and of the highest quality. You will have the opportunity to influence service development, champion innovation, support staff wellbeing and help transform how palliative and end of life care is delivered. If you are a visible and values-driven leader who thrives on making a difference, this role offers a unique opportunity to combine clinical excellence with the privilege of supporting patients and families through some of life's most important moments.

To succeed in this role, you will be an NMC-registered nurse with post-registration experience in specialist palliative care. You will also bring experience of managing teams and delivering high-quality care services. In return, you will join a compassionate and supportive organisation where your leadership can make a lasting difference to patients, families and colleagues.

Interviews for this role will take place w/c 2nd November.

Please note that this post is subject to an Enhanced DBS check with Barred list checks included.

Starting salary of £49,387, with opportunities to progress to £56,515.

Please note that the salary quoted is based on full time hours and will be pro-ratad for part time posts. As a Charity with limited funds, it is usual practice for new starters to commence on the minimum of the salary band for the role. Exceptionally, and only for candidates demonstrating significant strengths relevant to the role, we may be able to negotiate on this.

We are a Disability Confident employer, and welcome applications from candidates with disabilities. If you would like support to apply, please contact the HR Team by [email protected] we will be happy to help.

Arthur Rank Hospice Charity does not hold a sponsor license; therefore, we are unable to offer sponsorship to individuals who do not currently have the right to work in the UK, or that require sponsorship as a condition of an existing visa.

We are committed to inclusivity, respect, fairness, engagement and equality of opportunity for our patients and their families, our staff and trustees, our volunteers and our supporters. We value the strength that comes with difference and the positive contribution that diversity brings to our community. Therefore, candidates with a disability that meet the minimum criteria will be guaranteed an interview. We are also working to increase diversity throughout the organisation, and we particularly welcome applications from BAME people who are currently under-represented.

Arthur Rank Hospice Charity is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, young people and adults who draw on care and support and expects all colleagues and volunteers to share this commitment.
