As the Night Service Manager, you will hold primary responsibility for overseeing the site during the night, ensuring the same high standards of care that we provide during the day.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Responding swiftly and effectively to medical and psychiatric emergencies.
• Providing coaching and mentorship to team members.
• Conducting randomized spot checks to ensure compliance and high standards.
• Ensuring thorough handovers and accurate, timely documentation.
• Involvement in audits and personnel management.

• Proven leadership and managerial abilities.
• Nursing qualification with current NMC registration as RMN or RNLD.
• Strong clinical background with demonstrable skills.
• Minimum of 3 years' experience in a mental health setting.
• Experience in Older People's Mental Health (OPMH) care or Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) is highly desirable.
• Outstanding communication skills, with a commitment to delivering the highest standards of care.
• Ability to work autonomously and make confident, informed decisions.

This role is ideal for a motivated individual who thrives in a dynamic environment and is passionate about ensuring excellent patient care during night hours. If you meet these criteria and are ready to take on a leadership role that makes a difference, we would love to hear from you.
