We are searching for a dedicated Ward Manager to lead our talented team in providing exceptional care for adolescents aged 13-18 with complex mental health needs.


About Wessex House

Wessex House offers a highly specialist inpatient service for adolescents aged 13-18 whose mental health challenges are too complex to be managed in the community. Here, you'll be part of a dedicated team committed to the assessment, treatment, and management of patients with diverse and often profound mental health issues. As Ward Manager, you'll play a critical role in the daily operations of the unit, ensuring that our patients receive safe, compassionate, and innovative care.


You will:

  • Champion best practices in mental health care by promoting a recovery-focused environment.
  • Lead by example, supporting and inspiring our nursing, medical, and AHP teams.
  • Oversee 24-hour care continuity through effective systems and innovative solutions.
  • Empower your team to provide compassionate, effective care within a defined budget.


What We Offer

You'll be supported in your professional development, encouraged to participate in training opportunities, and have access to robust supervision and mentorship. You'll join a caring and committed team in an environment where your contributions truly matter.


Main Duties of the Job


Clinical Leadership: Provide hands-on clinical leadership, undertaking direct patient care as needed. You'll set the standard for excellent care and be a visible presence on the ward to offer support to staff, patients, and visitors.


Team Coordination: Oversee the daily activities and routines of the inpatient unit, ensuring continuity of care and a smooth-running service.


Staff Management and Development: Lead, manage, and develop a highly skilled team, promoting positive team dynamics and supporting each member's professional growth. You'll oversee supervision and appraisals for Band 6 and below, ensuring all staff are engaged and adequately trained.


Quality Assurance and Improvement: Take an active role in enhancing the ward through evidence-based, recovery-focused practices. Your leadership will help to identify areas for improvement, and you'll use research to inform innovative strategies to better our care delivery.


Financial Accountability: Work within a defined budget, ensuring resources are managed effectively. You'll be responsible for monitoring expenditures, managing equipment, and ensuring necessary resources are always available for patient care.


Patient and Family Engagement: Communicate sensitively and effectively with patients and families, ensuring that everyone is informed and involved in the care process. You'll promote a compassionate environment that respects diversity and ensures patients and families feel supported.
