That's what the next Charge Nurse at The Farndon Unit will come in and do. Whether you're an existing Charge Nurse (must be RMN or RNLD) with experience under your belt, or a senior Nurse looking for the next step in your career, join the nursing team that’s making a difference to the lives of people with a diagnosis of severe and enduring mental illness and/or personality disorder and/or mild learning disability. You'll be supported with like-minded colleagues across the multidisciplinary team, in a company that will encourage and support you with career development to help you achieve your career goals. Your career within Elysium will be enjoyable and rewarding as you develop specialist skills and make a real difference for some of the most vulnerable people in society. It’s a career that you can take pride in and enjoy. It’s what delivering great healthcare should feel like.

What you will be doing:

With previous experience from the NHS or private care, you will oversee and provide high‑quality care and support to women with complex mental‑health needs, while supporting your team and colleagues and promoting good teamwork.

You will join the multidisciplinary team in providing specialist care for people with a diagnosis of severe and enduring mental illness and/or personality disorder and/or mild learning disability. The combination of general low‑secure wards and a recovery ward area (also within the low‑secure perimeter) provides a seamless internal care pathway supporting and empowering recovery and rehabilitation.

What you will get:

• Annual salary of £44,059.
• The equivalent of 33 days annual leave (inc. Bank Holidays) – plus your birthday off.
