Name Katherine Omand- Barker Position Senior Sister Email [email protected] Phone number 0113 2060963 Shortlisting Date: 21/09/226 Interview Date: 01/10/2026

Give a short summary of the role and why this person should work for you. Potential applicants will read this first, so inform, engage and excite. An exciting opportunity has arisen for a seconded Band 6 Junior Sister/Charge Nurse to come and join our team on the Surgical Assessment Unit (SAU) at St James’s University Hospital within the Abdominal Medicine and Surgery CSU. We currently have a very dynamic, passionate team who are striving to provide high quality care to acute patients requiring urgent surgical/gastroenterology and urology assessments/interventions. This would be an ideal opportunity for a Band 5 Registered Nurse looking to gain some additional leadership and management experience.

SAU is a fast-paced acute assessment area caring for acute admissions within the General Surgical, Urology, Colorectal and Gastroenterology specialties. We assess patients who are referred by Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust Emergency Departments (ED) and via Primary Care Access Line (PCAL) in which patients are referred by Leeds GP surgeries. In addition to SAU, you will also work on the Ambulatory Surgical Centre (ASC) where patients are seen directly by a consultant following a referral from the GP or ED.

SAU and ASC are both dynamic, high-pressure environments and are constantly striving for excellency and a high standard of patient care. If you are an individual who is keen to progress and develop through contributing new ideas for service improvement and helping to lead a hard-working team, then this is an ideal role for you.

You will have excellent communication and leadership skills, and the ability to demonstrate recent change management and implementation. You will be supporting the Band 7 Senior Sister to lead the team working on SAU and help to promote a positive, safe working environment that provides the best care possible for the patients. You will help to lead on aspects of patient safety, supporting staff and lots of improvement work that is currently underway on SAU. Previous experience at Band 6 would be an advantage, but it is also an opportunity for a Band 5 to further develop their career and leadership skills. You must demonstrate effective organisational skills and an ability to remain calm under pressure, with a positive attitude, acting as a positive role model.

Effective service delivery requires staff to be flexible and be able to work full rotating shift patterns. Candidates should have current NMC registration and extensive experience at Band 5. Management experience is desirable but not essential. If you feel that you have the correct skills and attitude for this post, please complete an application or contact the Band 7 Senior Sister for more details.

Please see the attached job description for further information about this vacancy.

Job responsibilities

Why you should join our Team

SAU is a fast paced, busy, acute assessment area that treats and cares for patients requiring gastroenterology, urology and general surgery input. The aims and objectives of this service are to assess patients, make decisions on their treatment and intervention needs and admit/discharge as appropriate.

ASC is a relatively newly established ambulatory assessment area that is consultant led and takes referrals primarily from PCAL but also ED. The aim of this is to assess patients with emergency general surgery needs who are also mobile, independent and at low risk of any clinical deterioration

We have a well-established, supportive and hard-working team on both SAU and ASC. As a team, we are always looking for new and innovative ways to improve the service that we provide and experience for patients and staff. For those who may have a band 2 role and are looking to progress and improve upon their clinical knowledge and skills this would be an excellent opportunity to do so. Please contact the Band 7 if you would like more information about the role.

This post will require the successful candidate to take a more senior role within the clinical support worker team and the candidate will be required to have competencies (or be prepared to acquire these competencies) such as venepuncture, cannulation, ECG recording, performing bladder scans in order to provide safe and timely care to the cohort of patients that we provide treatment and care for on SAU and ASC. The successful candidate will be expected to provide leadership and guidance to junior CSW staff through mentorship and support. The candidate will also work closely with nursing staff, medical staff, administrative staff and ward environment staff to ensure that patients are receiving high quality care. In addition to this, the candidate will also be required to contribute towards the daily upkeep of maintaining a safe clinical environment. For example, ensuring that there are adequate stock levels, certain safety checks are completed and assisting in ensuring that the ward environment is clean and clutter free.

Job description

Job responsibilities

We have included an indicative 10 PA job plan within the candidate pack; however, we strongly believe that a job plan should work for both the individual and the service. The successful applicant will therefore have the opportunity to meet with the Service Line Director prior to starting in post to agree a personalised job plan that reflects their skills, interests, and preferred working patterns.

We recognise that flexibility is key to supporting wellbeing and long-term career satisfaction. We are proud of our track record in offering highly flexible working arrangements and are committed to helping colleagues balance their professional and personal lives. We're also keen to help people focus on the areas of practice they enjoy most we know that when people do what they love, they bring their best selves to work.

Job plans typically include 1.5 PAs of generic Supporting Professional Activities (SPA) time, though this can be tailored depending on roles in education, management, research, or quality improvement.

We run a first-on call rota for anaesthesia (excluding cardiac, ICU, and paediatrics), which is supported by a second-on call consultant. When on first-on call, you must be within 30 minutes of the hospital, and for second-on call, within 45 minutes. Resident trainees are available overnight in obstetrics, the emergency theatre, ICU, and cardiac ICU, ensuring senior support is well integrated into our system.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and work-life balance, we have a clear and supportive process for taking colleagues off the on-call rota in the latter stages of their career, if desired.

We would be more than happy to discuss any aspect of the job plan, rota, or working arrangements. Informal visits to the department, hospital, and local area are warmly encouraged
