We are a 20 bedded ward offering inpatient care to adults over the age of 65 with functional mental health problems or organic disorders such as Dementia/Alzheimer’s.

We are looking for someone that we can support to mature into a dynamic, inspirational leader. You will need to be enthusiastic, innovative and want to work in a service that is committed to the provision of personalised, evidence-based care.
The successful candidate will help support a dedicated multi-professional team to provide high quality care for people during an acute phase of their illness and be able to demonstrate leadership skills and team working experience.
We firmly believe that frontline clinical leadership is essential to improving patient experience and outcomes, and offer opportunities for development, training, and support. We are a forward-thinking service and welcome new ideas and improved ways of working to enhance our patient and carer experience.
The Trust is committed to providing a high standard of personal and professional development.
You must be a qualified RMN, able to demonstrate related learning beyond registration and be prepared to continue enhancing your clinical skills. It is important that you understand multidisciplinary service provision and the challenges that face people with acute mental health issues, along with the staff who support them. We want to hire someone that is passionate about mental healthcare, with a strong conviction for recovery focused practice and possesses communications skills of the highest caliber. You must show that you are caring and compassionate with a desire to safely manage your staff team for the benefit of our patients in an effective and efficient way. You must have an excellent understanding of risk assessment and management and how to work within professional boundaries. Our service is challenging, stimulating, diverse and very rewarding.
