Job Description

Senior Sister / Charge Nurse – Plastics, Trauma & Surgical Outpatients
Band 7 (Permanent, Full-time)

We are looking for an experienced, compassionate and forward-thinking senior nurse to lead our friendly and fast-paced Plastics, Trauma and Surgical Outpatients teams across Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital.

This is a genuine leadership role where you will shape day-to-day clinical care, support and develop your teams, and directly influence the patient experience in two very different but equally rewarding departments.

What the role looks like in practice

You will be the clinical and operational lead for:

The Plastics Trauma Unit at Hull Royal Infirmary – a lively 7-day service that operates as a true “see-and-treat” clinic. Last year we cared for around 7,000 patients with hand injuries, facial trauma, burns, dog bites and complex lacerations, often assessing, treating and discharging them on the same day in our dedicated Clean Room.

The Surgical Outpatients department at Hull Royal Infirmary – running alongside trauma, hosting general surgery, breast, vascular, urology and plastics follow-up clinics.

The Plastics Outpatient service at Castle Hill Hospital – including specialist dressing clinics for complex wounds, the Westwood Minor Operations suite, and our highly regarded specialist nursing teams (skin cancer, lymphoedema and research).

You will work closely with two supportive junior sisters (one on each site), consultants, therapists and our wonderful admin teams to keep everything running smoothly while continually raising standards.

Day-to-day you will be very much “hands-on” when needed, but your main focus will be supervising care planning, mentoring staff, developing protocols, managing rotas, auditing outcomes and making sure every patient feels listened to and respected.

About us – Humber Health Partnership

We are one of the largest acute and community partnerships in the NHS, formed by Hull University Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust and Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust. Together we serve 1.65 million people across Hull, East Yorkshire and Northern Lincolnshire with a combined budget of over £1.3 billion and nearly 20,000 colleagues.

Both Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospital are busy teaching hospitals with strong links to Hull York Medical School. We are proud of our research in cancer, cardiovascular disease, wound healing and many other areas, and our nursing teams play an active part in trials and innovation.

Why colleagues love working here

Genuine career progression – many of our Band 7s move on to matron or specialist nursing roles.

Visible, supportive leadership – you will never feel you’re on your own.

Variety – no two days are the same when you cover trauma, elective plastics and complex wound care.

A culture that actively welcomes diversity, new ideas and flexible working requests.

Visa sponsorship

We warmly welcome applications from overseas nurses who need Skilled Worker visa sponsorship – nursing remains on the list of eligible healthcare occupations with favourable salary thresholds and reduced visa fees.
