There is lots of planned transformation in our Inpatient Services within the Mental Health Services for Older People (MHSOP). This is a very exciting time to join our team and be a part of our service development within a ward management team role.
The role is incredibly rewarding, supporting many of our patients in returning home to their lives in the community or into a Care Home environment. A great ending to the therapeutic relationship which we have built with them and pride ourselves on.
We recognise our services as highly specialised, whereby our nurses can develop professionally within both mental and physical health. Our wards are supported by a range of Allied Health Professionals, who support and guide our team, enhancing our nursing skills to improve the lives of our patents and ultimately promote optimum recovery.
