Job overview
Would you like to work in a well-supported, dynamic, enthusiastic recovery-focused multi-disciplinary blended female unit?
I would like to take this opportunity to get you on board with this exciting opportunity to join our team. We are looking for a Band 5 Nurse to add to our already experienced team. This is a team with a wealth of experienced colleagues who are focused on recovery and making a difference, thereby having a positive impact on the quality of life for our service users.
Main duties of the job
We are openly welcoming people from a diverse clinical background who possess a vast experience in different areas of mental health. A wealth of skills and expertise in mental health will be valued and career progression will be supported within our line management and appraisal structures.
Are you a highly motivated, passionate, and skilled Mental Health Nurse?
Do you believe in keeping Service Users and Carers at the heart of everything you do?
Are you interested in developing your leadership skills whilst in a clinical role?
Would you like to work in a well-supported, dynamic, enthusiastic recovery-focused multi-disciplinary female blended service?
Do you believe in co-production and embrace its principles?
Within this role, you will be involved in working alongside the MDT, working within the confines of a robust co-produced care plan that meets the individual service users’ needs whilst managing any risk factors for the individual or others. The recovery-focused approach allows an opportunity to work collaboratively with carers, relatives, and other third-party agencies. In addition, this role will focus on proactively supporting reintegration back into the community, linking with third-party services such as housing, drug and alcohol, attending all the necessary reviews and professional meetings as scheduled.
Working for our organisation
Whitlingham provides a recovery-focused service for females who are experiencing severe and enduring mental health problems alongside posing a significant risk of harm to others. They typically require time and intensive support to aid their recovery within a provision of a blended female service.
By joining our team, you will be well supported to develop further your knowledge and skills to deliver evidence-based interventions for the group of service users. Personal development will be supported through meaningful Appraisal and via a bespoke training package (a comprehensive in-house & external training programmes). On a monthly basis, you will be offered reflective practice sessions, mandatory clinical supervision, and Line management supervision. You will also have an opportunity to actively take part in Quality improvement projects within the service.

DISCLOSURE AND BARRING SERVICE CHECK (formerly CRB)
FOR POSTS WITH DIRECT SERVICE USER CONTACT - Please be advised that due to recent changes in the DBS Service, organisations no longer receive copies of DBS Disclosures – these are sent directly to candidates only. Therefore, it will be your responsibility, if successful, to ensure that this is taken to the appointing officer as soon as you receive it.
Alternatively, if you have subscribed to the update service, we will be able to check your status once we have your authority to do so.
The Trust has now introduced a DBS Update Service which is a contractual requirement. You need to subscribe when you have applied for your DBS clearance and there is a time limit to subscribe of 19 days after receipt of your DBS disclosure. Please ensure that this is completed within the set time scale.
This update service is an annual subscription at a cost of £16 to you. This will enable the Trust to have instant online access to your DBS record, with your consent, and so will remove the need for you to have to apply for this repeat check again.
Employer certification / accreditation badges
You must have appropriate UK professional registration.
This post is subject to the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 (Amendment) (England and Wales) Order 2020 and it will be necessary for a submission for Disclosure to be made to the Disclosure and Barring Service.
