Full time
Are you an RMN with experience working with adults with complex mental health problems? An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 nurse to work in Woodlands Acute unit Sussex Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, Hastings. The successful candidate will be working on Castle Ward which specializes in men's care and is a relatively small acute ward. Castle ward's team is supported by Abbey Ward team that work next door in a 14 bed acute female unit. Both wards have undergone recent structural changes in order to provide a safe environment for both patients and staff. Current feedback from patients tells us that the provision is a great improvement and allows staff to be out in the ward environment with the patients and have the time to nurse, which has a major positive impact on patient recovery time.

Our patients are keen for new nurses joining the team to demonstrate empathy, time to talk and listen. About us We are very proud of our standards and are looking for someone who is ready to learn and keen to develop.
