An exciting opportunity has arisen at the Mill View Haven.
The Haven aims to prevent the need for A&E attendance where people are experiencing a mental health crisis and require a period of time (usually up to 23 hours) for assessment and support with onward care and treatment planning.
Haven Band 6 RMN
The Haven Mill View Hospital is an Urgent Care mental health assessment unit, providing a safe, therapeutic space for an extended and intensive period of support. We care for a small number of people at any time, meaning we can provide a person-centred and bespoke service.
We are currently looking for dynamic, caring, and passionate Band 6 nurses to join our close and supportive team.
The service operates 7 days a week, and weekend and evening work will be required.
We look forward to hearing from you and want to welcome you to our team!
Join our organisation rated 'good' overall and 'outstanding' for caring by the CQC.

Main duties of the job
Practitioners at the Haven work with confidence and autonomy. They triage referrals, assess suitability for attendance, and conduct thorough, holistic assessments over a 23-hour period.
Nurses will safely plan onward care collaboratively with the individual, family, and carers, enabling safe discharge and continued recovery from a mental health crisis.
Referrals are screened from various professionals, including police, ambulance, community mental health teams, and A&E mental health liaison teams.
Working at The Haven offers opportunities to develop skills in holistic assessments, care and treatment planning, understanding mental health pathways, and collaborating with service users and their families, all while delivering high-quality care with autonomy.
