Join to apply for the Forensic Charge Nurse role at Oxford Health NHS Foundation Trust.
RSU allowance of £1,446 per annum on top of salary.
Would you like to work in a very different forensic environment and help shape a service to enhance delivery? Would you like to support mental health patients to learn new skills and coping strategies and develop others? We are recruiting a Forensic Charge Nurse to join our team at Marlborough House in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, working on our inpatient ward forensic directorate with 20 beds.
Our team works 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 are a registered mental health nurse looking to further your career within a forensic setting, we would 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.
