The Chichester Centre is a modern unit providing low secure services for men and women.

The MDTs include nursing, OT, social work, psychiatry and psychology. There is an in-reach pharmacy, SALT and GP service. We have a working together group (WTG) which meets fortnightly and includes service user representatives from each ward as well as staff. The WTG take a lead on service improvement across the unit.
We are a centrally located service with good commuting links to Bognor Regis, Portsmouth and Worthing.

You will work collaboratively with medical staff and other health professionals to support the delivery of patient care. Ultimately, you will provide effective leadership and management to staff to promote high performance standards, both individually and as a team, in order to achieve the Trust’s objectives and priorities.
