At Nuffield Health the UKs largest healthcare charity, everything we give our patients, members and customers would not be possible without you. Your passion, your warmth, your drive to make a difference. Whether it's driving connected health, helping the nation, transforming experiences, or building the career you want - we give you the support to do it all. Join our journey. It starts with you.

We're looking for a highly skilled Critical Care Manager with a passion for delivering exceptional patient care to join us at Nuffield Health, The Manor Hospital.

Whether you're currently working in the NHS or in a private setting, now's the time to apply to Nuffield Health. This is an opportunity to work autonomously and grow your career - to be valued and to be free from the constraints that might be preventing you from achieving job satisfaction right now.

About the Role

Critical care is where your skills and training really come into play. No two patients are the same and every day is different. With us, you can be secure in the knowledge that you'll have all the support, training you need to handle whatever the role brings. We understand what makes you great as a nurse - your skills, dedication, ability to spot a problem and act quickly, as well as your empathetic approach. Together, these different aspects of care are what make our patients' journeys memorable - for all the right reasons.

As a nurse registered with the appropriate governing body, you'll have the qualifications and experience relevant to your registration. You'll also have post-registration experience. Immediate / Advanced Life Support is desirable. Like us, you believe in putting people first. So you'll appreciate having the resources to fully understand and meet each individual patient's clinical and personal needs. Alert, focused, detail-oriented and empathetic, you'll have a wealth of experience to draw upon.

We are looking to appoint an enthusiastic, motivated and dynamic individual who has undertaken post graduate study in intensive care and mentorship. You will need to have a passion for clinical care while possessing excellent leadership skills to support the team and assist the senior sister with the management of the unit. You will need extensive experience in critical care along with previous experience at a senior level. You'll be an excellent communicator and team worker - flexible and motivated. As part of the wider hospital team, you'll interact with practitioners from other areas because you understand that continuity in patient care is key.

You'll be part of a close-knit, multidisciplinary team. And, with our consultant-led service, you'll be working directly with some of the best clinical talent around, gaining experience with new practices, equipment and facilities. These are all maintained to our high standards as we take great pride in our low infection rates and high CQC scores at Nuffield Health.

As our Critical Care Manager, you will:

• Supervise and support clinical support staff and junior staff in the delivery of care, providing education, training and mentorship to meet development needs.

• Deliver high quality patient care, which is clinically effective, evidence based and appropriate.

• Assess, plan, implement and evaluate care as part of a collaborative programme.

Helping you feel good.

We want you to love coming to work, feeling healthy, happy, and valued. That's why we've developed a benefits package with you in mind. From financial and emotional wellbeing support to an online GP, gym membership and private healthcare. At Nuffield Health, we'll take care of what's important to you.
