Surgical Ward Manager / Inpatient Service Manager

Are you an experienced Nurse with solid leadership and management experience who is looking to lead from the front? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where teamwork, clinical excellence, and patient-centred care are at the heart of everything you do? Compass Associates are proud to be working with a leading hospital group, who are currently in search for an exceptional Inpatient Service Manager to lead their Surgical and Orthopaedic Ward. This is a pivotal leadership role — guiding a 55-strong team through its next phase of stability, growth and cultural strengthening following a major ward merger. This is not a desk-based management post. We are looking for a visible, compassionate leader who will spend significant time on the ward floor, building trust, modelling excellence and shaping a positive, high-performing culture.
