Overview
We seek a Multi-Professional Approved Clinician leader to join a 16 bed female acute in-patient psychiatric care unit in Norwich covering central Norfolk.
The inpatient unit is based in Hellesdon Hospital and serves the population of Central Norfolk (approximately 529,555). At present, there are five wards at Hellesdon Hospital. Four wards predominantly serve the demand from Central Norfolk and one ward, the PICU, is trust wide. However, to make best use of bed capacity there is no exclusion on admissions from other Trust areas.
The acute pathway at Hellesdon Hospital comprises a crisis resolution and home treatment team, four acute wards and the PICU. Three new wards have recently been opened that have replaced and added to the existing accommodation offering state‑of‑the‑art acute and rehabilitation facilities for staff and patients, with a male ward reopening later in the year.
The postholder will be an expert practitioner and highly advanced in their clinical scope of practice, providing professional leadership and consultancy, practice and service development in alignment with the core four pillars of multi‑professional consultant practice. The postholder will contribute to and lead research, policy and service development, quality improvements, outcomes measures and provision of training to colleagues, within their area of practice/inpatient setting. They will be expected to represent the trust locally and nationally in relevant professional meetings, networks, and forums, as well as contribute to the development of the MPAC role within the trust.
Why work for us?
We have challenges as a Trust, but we have ambitious aspirations, are pushing ahead with exciting transformation work and we need dedicated individuals to support us on our journey. We have strong, established professional networks coupled with an exceptional leadership team who will ensure you are truly cared for and cared about.
Why Norfolk and Suffolk?
The people here are warm and welcoming, you’ll never be far from the beautiful coastline or Broads National Park. We’re an hour and a half away from London and have an international airport in Norwich too. Our villages, towns and cities are packed full of history, independent cafés, shops and theatres. We have excellent shopping, eating out, top‑ranking schooling and affordable house prices too.
