Description
Matron, Acute mental health services at Mill View hospital.We are seeking to recruit into our hospital leadership team, a matron post at Mill View Hospital.
This is a fantastic opportunity for an experienced nurse to join our senior acute leadership team at Mill View Hospital, Brighton and Hove.
Below are our current matron's reflections of working within this role."I have worked in a number of hospitals in my career but what separates Mill View from others is how caring and kind the teams are to patients but also to each other, as colleagues
- there is a real sense of community and a willingness to support each other. The teams put thought into all they do for those we care for and I'll be one of the first to hear of their concerns if there is something impacting on patients in any way, which is reflective of our culture of openness and transparency we have at Mill View Hospital. I feel privileged to be working within a hospital which demonstrates and role models what it means to care, and I have witnessed each team continue to grow and develop over the last few years, despite the many challenges, which they have faced with strength and resilience".
