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.

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.
