The Mental Health Division of Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust comprises three directorates: Adult Mental Health, Mental Health Services for Older People, and Specialist Services. More than 2,800 dedicated staff provide vital healthcare services for our patients in various settings, ranging from community to acute wards, covering a vast geographical area.
We're investing heavily in our staff, facilities, and patient care. As we move into this new chapter, we need a strong, motivated, and compassionate workforce to reflect our core values of Honesty, Compassion, Trust, Respect, and Teamwork. There has never been a better time to join our growing team.
We have exciting opportunities across different specialities and services, with an emphasis on career development and progression. We want to help our staff reach their full potential and are committed to providing the support, skills, and development needed to succeed.
Main Duties of the Job
The Integrated Specialist Services provides specialist NHS services to people for whom mainstream services cannot meet their demands. We are seeking a Staff Nurse to join our Inpatient Assessment & Treatment Team with IDD.
The Orion Unit is an 8-bedded inpatient service for adults with an intellectual disability and complex mental health needs and/or challenging behaviours whose needs cannot be met within the community at any given time. We offer specialist assessment and treatment tailored to the individual, and the team works flexibly, utilising a broad range of models and interventions within a Multi-Disciplinary Team. The Unit supports people in times of crisis, difficulty, and distress, effectively collaborating between professionals, the person, family/carers, and networks that support them. We work closely with our community colleagues in health and social care.
An opportunity has arisen for an IDD Staff Nurse to work within the Inpatient Assessment & Treatment Team, based at the Orion Unit at Highbury Hospital, Bulwell, Nottingham.
