We will have one male ward and one female ward split into two halves. The main purpose of the unit is to assist Service Users to understand and manage their own mental health, so that where possible, they can be reintegrated back into the community.

We would welcome applications from, RMN or RNLD nurses who have a passion for working with multi-disciplinary teams as we pride ourselves on this. The person we are looking for should possess excellent team working skills, be patient focused and embracing of the Trust values.

We would also welcome applications from students or newly qualified nurses: you will be fully supported and encouraged to develop your clinical skills; you will also be invited to take part in the Trusts Preceptorship Programme that will provide you with the practical skills required of you in this role. Our LEAD team offer unparalleled training and development opportunities and CPD; all staff are encouraged to access these.
