Role
We have recruited Lead Nurses in Mental Health, Learning Disability and Autism, and Enhanced Care Team Leads who will serve as supportive leaders and role models. The Enhanced Care Service includes:
* Lead Nurse in Mental Health, Lead Nurse in Learning Disability and Autism
* Enhanced Care Specialist Practitioner/Team Leads
* RNMH/RNLD/SW/OT/other relevant AHP

You will report to the Team Leads who provide daily clinical and operational support, supervision, and training. The team will be deployed across the RUH hospital site to support patients requiring additional support, including 1:1 care or other levels of enhanced support based on needs.
Role modelling and effective use of de-escalation techniques, communication, self-regulation, assessment, and safety maintenance are essential to reduce harm to patients, relatives, visitors, and staff.
You will evaluate the effectiveness of interventions and, where appropriate, plan discharge needs, involving other agencies and professionals. Good communication and collaborative working are vital.
This role requires working shifts including evenings, nights, weekends, and bank holidays.
