Registered Mental Health Nurse

We are looking for a dedicated Mental Health Nurse to join us on our Primrose Inpatient Ward, based at the Western Community Hospital in Southampton. Primrose Ward is a 14 bed OPMH functional ward. The ward provides intensive care, acute assessment and treatment for older people experiencing functional mental health needs, such as depression, bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

The primary purpose of a Band 5 Nurse on an Older Persons Ward is to provide direct, compassionate, and effective nursing care to elderly patients, many of whom may have multiple medical conditions, dementia, mobility issues. The nurse is integral in supporting the patient's dignity, safety, and comfort while ensuring optimal care in line with evidence- based practices.
