Job Summary
As a leading Learning Disability and Mental Health Charity, we provide healthcare and support for people with serious mental illness along a recovery pathway influenced by a psychosocial intervention framework. We ensure the people we support can move along a pathway towards independence at their own pace and build their coping and lifestyle skills gradually within a therapeutic environment.
We value our people and truly believe in making a difference through the service we provide. As well as working within a great team and within a great culture, you can expect to earn a competitive salary ranging from £16.83 - £20.58 per hour dependent upon experience as well as an annual holiday allowance of 33 days inclusive of bank holidays.
Salary based on post-qualification experience:
1. £32,909 per annum (£16.83 per hour) As a preceptorship nurse
2. £35,353 per annum (£18.08 per hour) At the end of your preceptorship or for those with up to 2 years post-preceptorship experience
3. £40,241 per annum (£20.58 per hour) For individuals with 2 years or more post-qualification experience
Main Duties of the Job
Responsibilities include:
1. To take charge of the service in the absence of the Clinical Lead and Senior Nurse Practitioner to ensure its smooth running and that standards of care are maintained.
2. To assess, plan, implement and evaluate programmes with service users, and to ensure that support is provided in accordance with individual plans for the people we support.
3. To establish and maintain good relationships between the people we support, relatives and staff.
4. To ensure the delivery of an individualised treatment plan for the people we support.
5. To deliver on medication management as per the company Policies and Procedures for Medicine Management, NMC and The Care Quality Commission.
An interest in mental health rehabilitation and promoting independence would help; however, skills can be transferred across from other professional training.
You may be involved in clinical reviews with our Responsible Clinician and liaise with GPs, MDTS and families. A full Supervision/Appraisal approach will be available. Daily support and guidance is available from peers and supervisors.
