This postholder will work alongside another junior sister and the senior sister of the department providing leadership, operational coordination and clinical support to our nursing, administrative and multidisciplinary team.

You will be liaising with other departments within ophthalmology as well as the wider UHS organisation and surrounding partners.

As a type 2 emergency department we have to adhere to the 4hour waiting time for treatment target and the band 6 sister supports the team and service to deliver this.
