Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust is one of the largest NHS teaching trusts in the country. It provides a wide range of general and specialist clinical services and is a base for medical education, training and research.

The Trust comprises four hospitals - the John Radcliffe Hospital, Churchill Hospital and Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre in Headington and the Horton General Hospital in Banbury.

Our values, standards and behaviours define the quality of clinical care we offer and the professional relationships we make with our patients, colleagues and the wider community. We call this Delivering Compassionate Excellence and its focus is on our values of compassion, respect, learning, delivery, improvement and excellence. These values put patients at the heart of what we do and underpin the quality healthcare we would like for ourselves or a member of our family. Watch how we set out to deliver compassionate excellence via the OUH YouTube channel.

Many of our recruitment programmes use V alue Based Interviewing to identify those who have the skills we seek, who share our values and who are able to deliver compassionate excellence from the outset. We know that this makes a significant difference to your job satisfaction and above all the outcomes and experience of our patients and their families.

An opportunity has arisen to join the team on our brand new Ward 5 E/F

An exciting opportunity has arisen for Deputy Sisters/Charge Nurses to join our motivated nursing team on Acute Medicine. We are opening a new ward that will strive to deliver excellent and compassionate care to some of Oxfordshire's most complex medical patients.

Our patients are all admitted for emergency care against a background of long-term physical health conditions, and they may also experience mental health issues, cognitive impairment and challenging behaviour.

You will be joining an energetic and enthusiastic team of nurses, doctors, therapists and social care professionals who work together closely to manage the patients' care problems, promote recovery and re-enablement, and safe discharge from hospital. The ward team is also supported by the Trust's psychological medicine team according to patients' needs.

We are keen to benefit from your expertise and experience to help us develop a truly multi-disciplinary approach to patient care. In return, you will be supported by practice development programmes run by the Trust, as well as the practice development team within acute medicine. We are committed to supporting your continuing professional and career development.

This is a high-performing, energetic and enthusiastic team that is constantly striving to do even better for our patients. The secret to our success is teamwork, and the successful applicant will be joining and helping to lead a very positive and supportive team.

You will be providing leadership that enables you and the team to nurse to your highest potential, using all aspects of your training and experience.
