Job overview

Braeburn House is a 28-bed male HDU, established in 2016 on a site that was previously a hospital in Salford, undergoing significant refurbishment. It is a partnership between GMMH and Elysium. The nursing staff, ward managers, HCAs, and domestics are employed by Elysium, while a senior clinical team, including consultants, is employed by GMMH. The multidisciplinary team includes 1.5 WTE Consultant psychiatrist sessions, a full-time Senior Nurse for mental health, a Senior Nurse for physical health, a Psychologist, a Psychology Assistant, a trainee Advanced Nurse Practitioner, and a junior doctor. The two consultant psychiatrists provide daytime medical cover, with cover arrangements in place during leave. The service is supported by the Hospital at Night team and the Salford Senior Trainee and Consultant rota outside normal hours. Patients are registered with GPs who provide cover.
