The South West London Elective Orthopaedic Centre is an established surgical hub situated on the Epsom Hospital site. The Centre has a core workforce which is completely committed to the delivery of excellent treatment for patients undergoing elective surgery. The Centre comprises six theatres which run six days a week, operating on approximately 6,000 patients per year, an Outpatients service and Pre-Assessment, which is undertaken digitally. Patients recover, post-surgery, in a Post Anaesthetic Care Unit and are then discharged home or taken to the ward for further care, if needed.
SWLEOC is a partnership organisation, made up of four trusts: Epsom and St Helier, St Georges, Kingston and Croydon. Patients come for surgery from across South West London and Surrey, but there are also many patients who come from a wider catchment area. We have a position of Head of Nursing to fill in a secondment capacity for a period of six months, Band 8b. We are looking to recruit an experienced senior nurse who will be a confident leader to work with all the nursing teams, bringing cohesion and support to all departments so that the highest standards of patient care can be maintained.
The successful candidate will work with the Senior Leadership Team, representing nursing and supporting ongoing transformation work within the Centre. The candidate will also have regular one to one meetings with the Chief Nurse of Epsom and St Helier
