If you are newly qualified or already a Band 5 Nurse, who wants the opportunity to be developed and make a difference, we are looking for nurses to join our dedicated team on the Dragonfly Unit, based at Carlton Court, Suffolk.
The Dragonfly Unit is a general adolescent unit for young people between the ages of 12-17, working with both males and females. We have 12 beds on our unit and work with young people who have a wide range of mental health problems and eating disorders.
We are looking for a Band 5 Nurse who has skills in working with children, young people and their families and carers. CAMHS experience would be especially welcome as would knowledge of attachment, child development and working systemically. While experience in working with children and young people would make you perfectly suited to this role, we are open to welcoming people from clinical backgrounds who have experience in other areas. We would like individuals to be well motivated, have good interpersonal skills, personal resilience, and an enthusiasm for working with children and their families who are going through difficult and stressful periods in their lives, in terms of their mental health and well-being.

As part of our ongoing strive for excellence, we are developing a 'care team' approach to patient-centred care. We're looking for a hands-on, flexible nurse who is skilled at developing therapeutic relationships.

It is vital that the clinician is reflective around issues of power and difference, sees the importance of working across systems, and can do that effectively. If you have the drive to provide excellent care, can demonstrate high-quality clinical skills, and are willing to go the extra mile to help make a difference in people's lives, then we would love to hear from you.
