WHO WE ARE:
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest Integrated Health Boards in the UK, employing over 16,000 staff and providing over 100 specialist services. Serving a population of around 500,000 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, we are focused on the health and care needs of our local population whilst also working with our partners to develop regional services. Together we are committed to improving health outcomes for everyone and to delivering excellent care and support.
Our mission is “Living Well, Caring Well, Working Together”. We have recently refreshed our strategy, Shaping Our Future Wellbeing, which sets out the Health Board’s Vision for improving the health and wellbeing of the populations we serve by 2035 through the delivery of our strategic objectives; Putting People First, Providing Outstanding Quality, Delivering in the Right Places, and Acting for the Future. We have challenging times ahead, but we are confident that by tackling these challenges together, we can support people to live healthier lives and reduce the unfair differences in the prevalence of illness and health outcomes we see in our communities today. We aspire to deliver outstanding care and treatment for people when they need it, where they need it; care that compares well with the best in the world, but to do so, we need to transform how we deliver services over the next decade and beyond.
We are a values-driven organisation and our goals will only be realised if our values are at the heart of everything we do. Created by colleagues, patients and their families and carers, our values are:
* We are kind and caring
* We are respectful
* We have trust and integrity
* We take personal responsibility
OUR REGION:
Wales has much to offer with miles of stunning coastline, UNESCO world heritage sites and beautiful countryside. Cardiff, the thriving Welsh capital, has something for everyone. It is a fantastic city to live and work in with an abundance of sports, arts and cultural attractions. Situated to the west of Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan offers a combination of beautiful Welsh countryside and a dramatic natural coastline, as well as charming towns including Penarth and Cowbridge. Those seeking more culture may find themselves drawn to the National Museum, St Fagan’s Museum of Welsh Life or the Millennium Centre, home of the Welsh National Opera. Whether city life or rural living, Cardiff and the Vale offers the best of both worlds.
Job overview
The Welsh Neuropsychiatry Service enables and supports survivors of acquired brain injuries to identify, monitor and take pride in achieving each recovery milestone. The inpatient unit provides a safe and supportive environment for clients who experience severe challenging physical, cognitive and emotional behaviours in the early stage of their recovery.
The unit functions as part of an inter-disciplinary team, maintains close links with patient’s families/carers where possible and incorporates their needs as well as the clients when structuring individually determined rehabilitation goals/programmes. This is a great opportunity to understand and to work with people with complex physical and mental health needs as a result of ABI and supporting their families. You'll be part of a multidisciplinary team, working together, sharing expertise and benefiting from excellent professional development opportunities all focused on being the best you can be, to deliver quality care.

This position requires a motivated, inspirational, innovative and creative leader who can manage the ongoing developments and delivery of care on a busy treatment ward. We value passionate, resilient, forward-thinking staff that have the vision to strengthen & develop the Ward in line with national good practice guidance.

Your managerial skills will need to enable you to take total management responsibility whilst promoting good working relationships and be responsible for the professional development of the staff you are responsible for within the Multidisciplinary Team.
