Job summary
Are you looking for an exciting new opportunity? Do you want to be part of a service and help shape the future of the Complex Care Mental Health Service in Dorset?
We currently looking for a Mental Health Nurse (RMN) band 5 ( with professional registration ) for our Rehabilitation Unit in Westbourne, Bournemouth.

The unit supports people who have chronic and disabling mental health problems that may be treatment resistant, often providing a stepping stone for those who have previously spent long periods in hospital. We have another inpatient unit in the West of the county in Dorchester.
Both inpatient teams work closely with our newly established Community Rehab Teams to provide a seamless transition from inpatient into the community, ensuring the patient is supported on this stage of their recovery journey. Staff work hard to facilitate further recovery, that can include supporting self-medication, gaining skills for more independent living such as cooking, shopping, budgeting and supporting individuals to access community activities (leisure and vocational).
This role requires a registered professional who is motivated, driven and passionate about developing an outstanding service for the individuals we serve.

To work with people to help them acquire or regain the skills and confidence required for them to ultimately live in the community. Focusing on addressing and minimising the symptoms and functional impairment that people may have, with an emphasis on achieving as much individual autonomy and independence as possible.
To develop therapeutic relationships with individuals and engage them in collaborative and effective partnership working to achieve agreed goals.
To contribute to the provision of a daily structure and range of effective clinical interventions, so as to balance the therapeutic needs of the person with the need for support and security, andto promote their individuality and autonomy in the least restrictive environment.
Applications from candidates that require current Skilled worker sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible to apply for this position.
