Registered Nurse - Orthopaedic

• Looking for a ward where you will be supported, challenged and encouraged to grow?

We are a busy acute orthopaedic ward caring for patients following joint replacement, fractures, trauma and a range of other orthopaedic procedures. The work can be demanding, but you will not be expected to manage it alone.

We are not claiming to be a perfect ward. We are a team committed to learning, improving and making Lynch Ward a better place for patients and staff.

• A supportive team and accessible ward leadership
• Structured orientation and help to build confidence
• Opportunities in preceptorship, quality improvement and leadership
• Open communication and a culture where questions are encouraged

• Safe, high-quality patient care
• Teamwork, reliability and respectful communication
• A willingness to ask for help and support others
• Personal responsibility for learning and development
• People who speak up with practical ideas and are willing to have a go

You do not need to be the most senior nurse in the room to make a difference. Nurses on Lynch Ward are encouraged to develop clinical skills, support new staff, participate in improvement work and step into leadership opportunities when ready.

Recent areas of focus have included falls prevention, delirium care, staff wellbeing, communication and clinical practice improvement.

• Provide safe, compassionate and person-centred care
• Work well in a busy acute clinical environment
• Communicate clearly and respectfully
• Are willing to ask questions, learn and receive feedback
