2 weeks ago


Watford Hertfordshire, United Kingdom Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust Full time

Would you like to join an innovative organisation committed to ensuring delivery of the best care by the best people? We have exciting opportunities for Band 5 Nurses at Warren Court and 4 Bowlers Green, our Hertfordshire-based Medium Secure and Low Secure Units for people with learning disabilities. This is the perfect opportunity for Mental Health and Learning Disabilities Nurses seeking a new challenge in a dynamic and rewarding environment where no two days are the same. Working hours will involve shifts, including some nights, weekends and bank holidays.


Staff benefits include 27 days annual leave, access to one of the UK's best pension schemes, flexible working options, childcare support, a one-year preceptorship programme for newly registered nurses, CPD opportunities, subsidised gym membership, and so much more.


Values-Based Screener: At Hertfordshire Partnership Foundation Trust, we are looking for people to join us who share our values and those of the NHS. Before your application can be considered, please take part on our online values questionnaire, which you can find a link for below. The Role: On a day-to-day basis, the role will involve assessing, planning and implementing evidence-based care, working as part of a multi-disciplinary clinical team, and being the named nurse for an identified group of service users. The post-holder will also help run shifts and assist the team leader, as well as supporting more junior members of the team.


The Ideal Candidate: Our service-users are our number one priority, so we need people who are committed to supporting others, even at more challenging times. Qualifications And Training: The successful candidate must have RNMH/RNLD/RMN/RGN and be registered with the NMC. Previous relevant experience is desirable but not essential as we offer training to ensure staff are skilled to the highest standards and feel confident in their ability to do the job well. The Trust's one-year preceptorship programme allows newly registered nurses to develop their clinical, communication and leadership skills within a structured framework of support and development.


The Trust are embedding a Trauma Informed Approach within all of our inpatients units and that you will be part of this exciting development.
Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust (HPFT) is an outstanding organisation with ambitions to match. We are one of just five mental health trusts to achieve an overall rating of 'Outstanding' from the Care Quality Commission , and our aim is to be the leading provider of mental health and specialist learning disability services in the country.


Our family of over 3500 members of staff provide health and social care for over 400,000 people with mental ill health, physical ill health and learning disabilities across Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, and Norfolk, delivering these services within the community and several inpatient settings. We also deliver a range of nationally commissioned specialist services including Tier 4 services for children and young people, perinatal services, plus medium and low secure learning disabilities services.


The care we provide makes a fantastic difference to the lives of our service users, their families and carers - everything is underpinned by choice, independence and equality, with our Trust values embedded throughout:


Would you like work with us to ensure our service users live the fullest lives possible they can? Would you like to be supported in your career to be the best that you can be?
