You would be working as part of a healthcare team with a mixture of psychosocial and clinical interventions. There are many opportunities to develop new skills and this role is ideal for an experienced nurse seeking to broaden their knowledge and understanding of caring for high-risk adults often with complex needs who experience high intensity use of urgent and emergency care pathways.

Our values define who we are as #TeamUHD. They underpin everything we do now and in the future. They define how we treat our patients, visitors, and each other, our valued teammates and colleagues.
UHD are investing in services across the Trust, with many being transformed and developed following merger and the New Hospital Programme.
