Join to apply for the Band 5 Assistant Home Manager - Bristol role at Avon and Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust.
We are looking for a Band 5 qualified nurse with experience in learning disabilities. This position is a 12‑month fixed term contract to cover maternity cover. This is an exciting opportunity to work with a very established and dedicated team of staff. Belbrook is currently rated as Good by Ofsted and offers a home away from home short‑stay service for children and young people.
Belbrook is a short break children’s home in Bristol commissioned by Bristol City Council and employs AWP staff. We provide respite care for children 8‑18 years old with learning disabilities and complex health needs. The provision covers 24‑hour care and the shifts reflect this with sleep‑in duties and unsocial hours, including evenings and weekends.
This AWP post is a secondment across to Bristol City Council short break children’s homes. As a seconded post the successful candidate will be employed with AWP and have regular clinical supervision in line with nursing standards. Day‑to‑day management, tasks and role will be to the Bristol City Council manager. As an AWP employee alongside your monthly clinical supervision you will be in regular contact with the link team manager who sits within the CAMH’s learning disability service for additional supervision or support. Training packages are provided by both AWP and Bristol City Council.
As the nurse in charge of a shift you will be a key worker to a group of allocated children, responsible for developing and reviewing care plans and risk assessments and liaising with parents/carers and other professionals to support the child in every aspect of their life.
You will provide a safe and supportive environment with personalised activities and regular trips into the community. You will manage a team of care staff, provide regular supervisions and deputise in the absence of the Home Manager.
