Patients are usually only transferred to one of the acute sector wards when a longer admission is required.

• Opal Ward: 19 bed male acute ward for patients from south Newham.
• Sapphire Ward: 16female acute ward for patients from south Newham.
Each acute ward was has a multi disciplinary team including Consultant Psychiatrists, specialist nursing team, pharmacists, social therapists, occupational therapists and peer support workers.
The multi-disciplinary team works closely with families and carers who are regularly involved during an inpatient episode of care.
The post-holder will always work under the supervision of a consultant psychiatrist and will be integral to a multidisciplinary team, accessing local CPD activities as appropriate.
The post is an opportunity to work alongside a varied and experienced multidisciplinary team to provide holistic and person-centred care to people with dementia and their families.
Candidates who have already completed all or part of their core training in psychiatry are also welcome to apply.
