Description
Are you a dedicated nurse who looks beyond the diagnosis?
We are an all-age service, supporting adults from 18 years and up through every stage of their recovery journey.
What You’ll Be Doing
Comprehensive Care: You’ll lead systematic nursing assessments that consider the "whole person"—including their culture, environment, and psychology.
Collaborative Planning: Working side-by-side with service users, their carers, and a multi-disciplinary team, you’ll co-create person-centered care plans that actually mean something to the individual.
Clinical Excellence: You’ll act as a mentor and leader, ensuring our practice stays in line with NICE guidance while delivering hands-on care and evaluation.
Service Evolution: From facilitating Depot and Clozapine clinics to driving Quality Improvement (QI) initiatives, you’ll help us constantly find better ways to serve our community.
What We’re Looking For
A Holistic Thinker: Someone who understands that health is influenced by everything from social factors to spiritual needs. A Natural Leader: You’re comfortable guiding best practices and supporting your teammates.
The Essentials: Valid nursing registration and a solid understanding of NICE guidelines and multi-agency working.
The post holder must hold a full, valid, UK driving licence and have access to a car/vehicle to use for business purposes (unless you have a disability as defined by the Equality Act 2010).
