An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Band 6 Clinical Lead Nurse to work as part of our specialist Older Adult Mental Health inpatient team on Sycamore ward. On Sycamore ward we currently offer 12 hour shifts. We are looking for an experienced RMN who is highly motivated, innovative and enthusiastic, demonstrating commitment to the ongoing development of our inpatient service. You will need the necessary clinical experience to lead and model excellent care delivery. You will be responsible for ensuring that high standards of care are delivered and maintained to patients admitted to our ward. The ward currently provides 14 in-patient Dementia assessment beds treating individuals with various mental health diagnoses, within Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB).

A key role is to provide support to patients and their families during the admission and facilitate safe discharge. About us
