Summary
A Vacancy at South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
The National Psychosis Unit is a specialist mixed- gender 18 bedded inpatient service for working age adults, based at the Bethlem Royal Hospital. We provide 24-hour care and treatment to people from across the country, and sometimes from further afield, helping people with severe and enduring mental ill health, specialising in treatment resistant and treatment intolerant psychosis.
Applying the latest research evidence, our team support people in their treatment and recovery from enduring psychosis. We help people to achieve improved mental and physical health outcomes, greater autonomy, and increased independence, as well as reducing future re-admission to hospital. Working closely with commissioners, many of our patients step down from our service to inpatient rehab or supported living placements, often after spending years in hospitals over the course of mental illness.
We are seeking to recruit someone who can lead and inspire, demonstrates good standards of clinical nursing skills/experience and is keen to develop these qualities in others. You will advise and deliver high quality, safe nursing care and be key to development and implementation of the nursing development training programme on our ward. You will be responsible for supporting the day to day running of our ward including role modelling high standards of care, reviewing referrals, service development, promoting good practice, maintaining patient and staff safety, completing weekly and monthly audits, supporting the ward to maintain accreditation, rostering, monitoring KPIs, reviewing incident reports and much more.
You will be an excellent role model and provide leadership that inspires the nursing team. You will demonstrate your expert knowledge and high standards of clinical practice. You will work alongside the ward manager in maintaining professional and high standards of care to our patients.
We are committed to get the very best out of our staff and will support your career aspirations. For this role, we can offer career pathways in specialist psychosis with ongoing training, development and support within research.

Throughout their admission, service users can access a broad range of evidence based, innovative and recovery focused interventions provided by specialists in nursing, psychiatry, pharmacy, occupational therapy, social work, arts therapies, and psychology. The unit enjoys excellent research links with departments at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience, King’s College London and the Doctoral Clinical Training Course.
