Job Advert Role Description:

Ready for the recognition and rewards you deserve?

We don't just talk about putting employees first. We know that Priory wouldn't exist without their combined energy, expertise, and effort. So we invest heavily in training, provide first-class support, promote collaborative teamwork, and give everyone on our team the opportunities and resources to achieve their full potential.

Ty Cwm Rhondda is a 20-bedded low secure mental health facility offering high-quality assessment, treatment, and rehabilitation services for males with complex mental health needs, serious mental illnesses including treatment-resistant presentations, and challenging behaviour.

We seek to work with individuals to stabilise their mental health and behaviours with the aim to maximise independence and promote reintegration into the community at the earliest opportunity.

The role of the charge nurse is to provide senior nursing leadership to the ward nursing team in support of the Ward Manager and Hospital Director.

You will have a degree of clinical and leadership experience that provides the expertise and confidence required to support the team.

You will have clear roles and responsibilities as set out in the Role Profile. However, you must be able to respond quickly to change and the developing needs of the service.

You will be responsible for deputising in the absence of the ward manager if necessary and therefore must demonstrate a willingness to develop and expand on your existing roles and responsibilities.

You will be role models for your peers and demonstrate core Priory values at all times; therefore, the expectations of this will need to be clearly set out.

About us:

As one of the UK's leading providers of behavioural care and specialist support services, Priory promises a challenging and fulfilling career with the support of a world-class organisation willing to invest in your development.

Across our network of hospitals, residential care homes, and supported living services, we are making a real and lasting difference to the lives of the people we support.

Your vaccination status will not affect any offer of employment and will be held in line with GDPR requirements. We thank you for your understanding.

All roles will be subject to a successful disclosure at an appropriate level from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS), Access NI, or Disclosure Scotland. We are an equal opportunities employer. Priory will cover the cost of a DBS check.
