Job Overview

An exciting opportunity has arisen at the Mill View Haven.

The Haven aims to prevent the need for A&E attendance where people are experiencing a mental health crisis and require a period of time (usually up to 23 hours) for assessment and support with onward care and treatment planning.

The Haven Mill View Hospital is an Urgent Care mental health assessment unit, providing a safe, therapeutic space for an extended and intensive period of support. We care for a small number of people at any time, meaning we can provide a person centred and bespoke service.

We are currently looking for dynamic, caring and passionate Band 6 nurses to join our close and supportive team.

The service operates 7 days a week and weekend and evening work will be required.

We look forward to hearing from you, and want to welcome you to our team!

We’d love you to join our organisation that is rated ‘good’ overall and ‘outstanding’ for caring by the CQC.

This post offers the Trust's £2,000 Golden Hello or Relocation Incentive for Band 6 Nurses & Practitioners.

Main duties of the job

At the Haven, practitioners are confident and work with a great deal of autonomy. Colleagues are expected to be able to triage referrals and whether patients referred are suitable to attend, and to conduct thorough and holistic assessments over a 23 hour period.

It is expected that nurses are able to safely plan onward care collaboratively with the person accessing services as well as family and carers enabling safe and effective discharge back into the community and continued recovery from a period of mental health crisis.

We screen and consider referrals from a range of allied professionals including the police, ambulance colleagues, community mental health teams, and mental health liaison teams in A&E departments.

Working at The Haven offers practitioners the opportunity to further develop skills in conducting holistic assessments of a persons' wellbeing, care and treatment planning, a broader understanding of mental health pathways and options for supporting people outside of hospital settings, confidence in collaborating with people accessing services as well as family/carers, and autonomy in delivering high quality care and treatment planning.
