Associate Director of Nursing | Barts Health NHS Trust

Although this position is a 6 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 6 months.

The Associate Director of Nursing is a key member of the site Nursing Board, working with the Divisional Director and Director of Nursing to develop and implement the trust wide objectives to deliver evidence based standards and to improve the care and experience of our patients.

It is also expected the post holder will undertake a corporate role as required by the executive, chief nurse and the director of operations.
