Are you passionate about supporting male and female service users with complex needs through the secure care pathway? Are you an inpatient/prison nurse and ready to take the next steps in your career? Or are you a CPN looking to enhance your skills by joining a specialist team (typical caseload size of 15-18 patients) in secure care? If so, this could be the opportunity for you!
Joining us as a B6 CPN you will be part of a large multi-disciplinary service (80+ staff) supporting the transition of patient care from secure settings into the community.
