Senior Staff Nurse

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Senior Staff Nurse (SSN) to join our Virtual Ward team. This is a dynamic and rewarding role that offers the opportunity to work at the interface of community and secondary care, managing acutely unwell patients with complex needs. The SSN will be instrumental in delivering safe, effective, and person-centred care to patients who would otherwise require hospital admission. The post holder will work closely with the other members of the VW team (ACP, B7 nurses and physio, B6 nurses and APs) and also with the Urgent Community Response (UCR) team, and a wide range of multidisciplinary professionals across the Integrated Care System (ICS). The role involves clinical decision-making, advanced assessment and diagnostic skills, and the ability to manage risk in complex and unpredictable situations. This is a full-time position, with the service operating on a rota basis from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week. The SSN will be expected to work flexibly across various pathways, including frailty, respiratory, palliative, and long-term conditions, ensuring a robust and responsive service offer.
