You will have significant responsibility for clinical operations, workforce planning, patient flow, capacity management, financial performance, service improvement and clinical governance.  The Clinical Operations Matron will work collaboratively with multi disciplinary teams and external partners to ensure safe, responsive and effective services while driving continuous improvement and supporting delivery of the hospice’s strategic objectives.

“My friend was nursed so well, and had every attention during his last days.  He twice asked me; who is paying for all this? and couldn’t believe it was free.  What a wonderful world it would be if everyone had access to this standard of care.”
