Day-to-day, we'll also rely on you to allocate key workers to patients, orientate new staff and mentor them to the highest standards of care. You can also expect to support our senior clinical staff and assist with investigations or complaints just one of the ways you'll make sure we're always treating our patients with dignity and respect. As a Charge Nurse, you'll make a real difference to the lives of your patients, their families and your team.

Experience in producing well-developed care plans and risk assessments is important, as is an up-to-date knowledge of recent clinical practices and regulatory frameworks, including DoLs/MCA and Royal Pharmaceutical guidelines. We'll also look for extensive nursing experience in a mental health setting, in particular caring for patients with dementia. You'll be a natural leader who has acted as a clinical mentor, including supporting newly qualified nurses through their preceptorship. Dedicated, ambitious and resilient, you'll have a strong track record of delivering improvements to achieve quality care.
