Part time
We are looking for Registered Mental Health Nurses to work on our new PICU unit at the Harbour. We are seeking forward-thinking nurses to join our Harbour team. This is an exciting opportunity, and the successful candidate will be part of an evolving service that has the needs of our service users at its heart. We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic to join a dynamic and constantly developing team.

Lancashire & South Cumbria NHS Foundation Trust encourages flexible working. We believe that a positive work/life balance benefits our NHS people through improved health and wellbeing, and as such, we consider working patterns such as term time, part time, compressed hours, home/remote working, and flexi-time where service needs allow. We encourage applicants to state clearly on their application forms any flexible working requests and to discuss these at interview. We also offer a relocation and welcome bonus scheme subject to terms and conditions.

We want to recruit people to the service who share our values and are confident in their ability to contribute to the demonstrated effectiveness and acceptability of our service.

Main duties of the job

You will be a Nurse working within a multi-disciplinary team and carry out a diverse range of duties. As a Band 5 Nurse within the team, you will be regularly supported and supervised by a nominated Band 6 Nurse Specialist, and you will be encouraged to take personal responsibility for clinical supervision and your continued professional development plan.

You will undertake a period of preceptorship overseen by a named Band 6 Nurse Specialist within your team and engage in the Trust's Preceptorship programme.

You will actively promote teamwork, respect, integrity, accountability, excellence, and compassion within the clinical team in accordance with the Trust values and Code of Conduct. You are required to maintain links with your professional body and provide evidence for the revalidation process. You will provide nurse leadership within the multi-disciplinary team and ensure the effective assessment, formulation, planning, and monitoring of care given to service users.
