Job description
Priory Burgess Hill Hospital has a number of opportunities for experienced Registered Nurses (RMNs and RNLDs) with exceptional clinical expertise who are looking to take the next step in their career.
Are you looking to progress in your Nursing career by developing your clinical leadership skills rather than leaving the ward and going into management?
This is a newly developed role, unique to Priory, which will give you that chance. We are looking for highly confident and experienced Nurses to be the clinical care and quality leaders within their ward. About Burgess Hill Hospital Priory Hospital Burgess Hill has a new and exciting opportunity for you to join our Team; in September 2023 we opened a third ward which is a 10 bedded male adult PICU.
The hospital is currently split across three units:
- EA – male psychiatric intensive care ward
- AJ – male psychiatric intensive care ward
- MS – acute general adult male-only ward
New members of our team have an exceptional opportunity to help shape the future of our services and a genuine chance to be part of transforming them. With a renewed focus on quality and excellence at its heart the service aims to grow and extend its current offering.
This is your chance to play an influential part in developing and improving the current services and to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of the people in our care.

- A clinical leader who is confident working across organisational boundaries, and is experienced in leading on service development projects
- An exceptional communicator who tailors your approach according to individual strengths and needs, and is adept at working with colleagues across different disciplines, and seniority and skill levels
What will you be doing?Lead Nurses will be integral to upholding a high level of patient care and clinical expertise across the team. You will:
- Have oversight of the clinical and care needs of all patients, supporting your wider MDT and nurses in working with patients, their families, community teams to meet the individual needs of each person

- Focus on proactive clinical risk assessments, nursing assessments, the development of clinical models, quality improvement measures, least restriction interventions and medication management
It is essential that our wards are environments where positive culture flourishes, where each service user is understood and their individual needs are respected and met with care, and where our teams come together and continuously strive for excellence.
