Job Description:
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde is one of the largest healthcare systems in the UK employing around 40,000 staff in a wide range of clinical and non-clinical professions and job roles. We deliver acute hospital, primary, community and mental health care services to a population of over 1.15 million and a wider population of 2.2 million when our regional and national services are included.
You must have a live NMC UK pin in order to be considered for this post.
This is a permanent full-time position with a rotational continental shift pattern.
At Gartnavel Royal, the delivery of safe and effective care is paramount to our philosophy of care. We believe in preserving people’s dignity during their stay with us and looking after our staff’s welfare. We are keen to recruit Band 5 Staff Nurses to join our in-patient mental health clinical teams.
You will be expected to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team within the context of an inpatient clinical area, with responsibility for the assessment of patient care needs and the development and evaluation of programmes of care. You will carry out all relevant forms of care in partnership with patients, carers, and other professionals, in line with agreed standards and clinical policies.
Taking charge of the ward and supervising and teaching junior staff, both qualified and unqualified, will be an important aspect of the role, along with mentoring nurses undergoing basic or post-basic training. You will also be responsible for maintaining a safe ward environment and managing difficult clinical situations.
The ability to operate as a team player is essential, as is treating people with dignity and respect and acting collaboratively with service users, carers, and varying staff groups. You must be a registered Nurse with demonstrable experience of working in a mental health setting, possessing the appropriate skills and knowledge to provide care in an inpatient mental health environment.
The shift pattern is rotational between days and nights. There are 4 posts available: 3 in the Adult in-patient mental health admission ward and 1 in the Intensive Psychiatric Care Unit.
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde encourages applications from all sections of the community, promoting a culture of inclusion across the organization and being proud of our diverse workforce.
By signing the Armed Forces Covenant, NHSGGC has pledged its commitment to being a Forces Friendly Employer, supporting applications from across the Armed Forces Community and recognizing military skills, experience, and qualifications during the recruitment and selection process.
NHS Scotland is reducing their full-time working week from 37.5 to 37 hours per week from 1 April 2024, with no change in pay. This reduction will also be applied pro rata for part-time staff. This advert and any subsequent offer/contract of employment reflects the new working hours. However, as not all service areas will be able to adopt the 37-hour working week immediately, you may be required to work up to an additional 30 minutes per week temporarily, for which you will be paid until your service area changes rosters or working patterns to accommodate the new reduced working week. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the Recruiting Board.
Candidates should provide original and authentic responses to all questions within the application form. The use of artificial intelligence (AI), automated tools, or other third-party assistance to generate, draft, or significantly modify responses is strongly discouraged. By submitting your application, you confirm that all answers are your own work, reflecting your personal knowledge, skills, and experience, and have not been solely produced or altered by AI or similar technologies.
Failure to comply with this requirement may result in your application being withdrawn from the application process.
