Lead Nurse
BHRUT is looking for an enthusiastic individual to fill the position of the Lead Nurse. As a Lead Nurse you will have overall responsibility for the direction and development of the Breast nurse service at BHRUT.
You will be expected to manage a team of Breast care Nurses, offer your clinical expertise, advice and clinical skills, to ensure the smooth running of the department and make sure that high standards of care are delivered and maintained. As a lead you will represent at regional and national Breast Cancer meetings. If you feel you fit that criteria then we would like for you to join our team. For those who may not yet fully meet the criteria, we are also open to offering this role as a developmental post at a Band 7. In this case, you will undertake a structured training, academic and professional development pathway, designed to enable progression to 8a.
Although this position is a 12 months fixed-term contract, the actual contract duration will be adjusted to account for the time taken to advertise the post, complete the hiring process, and finalise pre-employment checks. This means the contract will begin when the candidate starts the role and may be slightly shorter than 12 months.

About Us
We’re an organisation that is getting better and better and our improvements are driven by a determination to deliver care we’re proud of and our patients are happy with.
They are benefitting from a new electronic patient record (we were the last acute trust in London to introduce one) and our maternity services have been rated good by the Care Quality Commission.
We operate from two main sites – KGH in Goodmayes and Queen’s Hospital in Romford. We have two busy emergency departments with more than 346,000 people visiting them last year. We’re campaigning to secure the £35m we need to transform the A&E at Queen’s and get rid of corridor care.
