We are currently recruiting Band 6 Bed Managers for our Acute Care Coordination Centre (ACCC)
The post is based at Springfield Hospital.
We are seeking to appoint a highly motivated nurse or equivalent clinician to be part of a Team that is at the heart of the Acute and Urgent Care Service Line in managing bed capacity and demand. As well as keeping the flow of patients moving through our acute wards, you will also have a key role in managing any operational issues out of hours that might affect the three hospital sites and can impact the safe and efficient functioning of the service. This is a full-time post and an exciting opportunity for an experienced Band 5 or Band 6 clinician who is seeking a different challenge.
This is an exciting time to join the team as we expand and move to a fully computerised system that will in the future allow us to predict and prepare for future demand. The successful candidates will be actively involved in service development and improvement.
This opportunity will provide you with an excellent opportunity to develop your skills in management, leadership, problem-solving as well as decision-making and interagency working.
