Trosolwg o'r swydd
Do you love caring for children and families and want to lead a team without stepping away from clinical practice? Join us as Band 7 Senior Sister/Charge Nurse on Starfish Ward at Watford General Hospital.
With 50% management and 50% clinical practice, you’ll have time to lead the ward and work alongside the team. It’s a chance to keep doing the nursing you enjoy, share your skills and stay close to the everyday experiences of children, families and colleagues.
We’re looking for an experienced children’s nurse who is approachable, cares about supporting others and wants to help shape the ward’s next chapter. You’ll work closely with the Paediatric Matron and wider team to make a difference to care on Starfish. If this sounds like your next step, we’d love to hear from you.

Your clinical time is an important part of the role: you’ll care for children alongside colleagues, offer hands-on support and coaching, and lead by example. Being part of the team’s daily work will help you build relationships, understand what support is needed and turn ideas for improvement into everyday practice.
We’re looking for strong acute paediatric experience, experience of coordinating shifts and leading a team at Band 6 or equivalent, and clear communication and organisational skills. Above all, you’ll bring a thoughtful, approachable style and a genuine commitment to helping others develop.
