  • Conducting comprehensive nursing assessments and developing individualized care plans in collaboration with service users.
  • Implementing evidence-based practices and encouraging a culture of continuous improvement.
  • Supervising and guiding junior and unqualified staff to ensure high-quality care delivery.

The ideal candidate will be a registered nurse with a specialization in Mental Health or Learning Disabilities, possessing substantial experience in Psychiatric Intensive Care, Acute Inpatient Nursing, and Crisis Home Treatment. A demonstrated capacity for clinical excellence, emotional resilience, and a commitment to service enhancement is essential.

We are dedicated to the professional development of our nursing staff, offering various training opportunities and considering rotational posts for those interested in diverse clinical experiences.
