Lead Nurse

Are you a dedicated Registered Nurse looking for a new challenge within a secure setting focusing on substance misuse and primary care? Have you developed your leadership skills across integrated and multi-disciplinary services? Are you a motivated nurse committed to clinical quality and continuous improvement? Would you welcome the opportunity for further training and development? Do you want to combine your substance misuse, primary care, acute and emergency nursing skills all in one place and keep your NHS Pension?

You must have significant post registration experience with excellent clinical nursing knowledge and eager to develop your managerial skills. Excellent communication and interpersonal skills are crucial with the ability to work well as part of a multi-disciplinary team. If you are a motivated individual with a desire to enhance your clinical and leadership skills, we can offer a wide range of training and development opportunities.

The post holder will be involved with providing and supervising the holistic care for the patients delivered by the team and working in collaboration with other professionals to ensure that the best care is optimised at all times. The role involves assessing, providing advice and administering evidence-based care as appropriate to patients within Health & Justice.
