Our aim is to provide a more therapeutic alternative to Accident and Emergency departments whilst facilitating rapid assessment and planning of ongoing care / support for our patients.

This role will require you to be rostered for a variety of shifts, 9 -5, long days and nights.

The post holder will provide supportive care management and work with a supervisor allocated to a group of service users as delegated by the Deputy Ward Manager/ Nurse in Charge or registered practitioner.

To provide efficient and effective administrative support to the ward, this includes handling documents of a confidential nature. Perform a variety of administration duties as defined in the principal responsibilities of the post.

Any other duties that may be delegated as appropriate to the nature and grading of the post.
