About You
Do you have a passion for rehabilitation? Are you an RMN looking for a new opportunity or wishing to return to practice? Are you interested in supporting staff to reach their potential? Do you want a combination of leading a ward and practicing clinically? If this sounds like you, we welcome your application to be considered as a Ward Manager here at Nelson House.
About Us
Nelson House is a modern and spacious 28-bedded Rehabilitation and Recovery mental health unit providing care for men of adult working age with mental illness. Located on the South Coast in Gosport, it is centrally located with access to beaches and the New Forest. We have two wards: Trafalgar (High Dependency Ward) and Victory (step-down ward).
By focusing on the development of skills for independence, the unit provides a positive step for patients, many of whom will transition to living in the community. It helps patients learn new ways of managing their conditions and symptoms, aiming to prevent future relapse. For patients with challenging behaviors, Nelson House assists them in changing their responses to anxiety and distress.
We have a full MDT, with Psychology and Occupational Therapy being key drivers within our unit.
