Would you like to work in a very different type of a forensic environment and be part of shaping a service to enhance delivery? Would you like to help support mental health patients to learn new skills and coping strategies and develop others?
We're recruiting a Forensic Charge Nurse to join our team at Lambourn House in Littlemore, Oxford. You'll be working at our pre-discharge unit (one of very few nationwide) which provides a unique mixed gender service in the forensic directorate with a total of 15 beds including 4 female patients.
Our team work closely with the forensic community team to support patients with a successful transition from hospital. Our forensic service focuses less on procedural and environmental security and more on relational security to enhance success of recovery journeys.
If you're a registered mental health nurse looking to further your career within a forensic setting, we'd love to hear from you!
This role involves shift work including 07:00-15:00, 13:30-21:30, 21:00-07:15 and two clinical support shifts of 09:00-17:00 per month.
Please note if you are based outside of the UK you will need to be fully qualified, have already passed your OSCE and have an NMC pin number in order to be considered for this role.
* You'll be responsible as part of the multidisciplinary team for delivering specialist nursing care to patients.
* You will be expected to lead a team of nurses and support workers in assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating nursing care to a group of patients. Where appropriate you will also act as a ‘named nurse’ for inpatients on the ward and take responsibility for their individual nursing care needs.
* You will support the ward manager in delivering the units objectives in terms of patient care, staff development and service development. You will be responsible for clinical leadership of the ward environment, working in a way that promotes the principles of recovery, to ensure individualised, safe and effective care provision for all patients. In the absence of the ward manager you will also take the necessary managerial action to ensure compliance with organisational and stakeholder requirements.
* As a team leader you will need to articulate a clear vision of the standards expected within your team and actively contribute to a positive learning environment providing supervision and mentorship to qualified and unqualified staff including students and will be responsible for ensuring that nursing is practiced within the Clinical Governance Framework.
