Job Introduction

Do you see yourself working for a CQC rated outstanding service? Douglas House is proud to be one of only 6% highest rated mental health services in the UK and is part of Turning Point, a leading health and social care organisation, a registered charity. We are also conveniently located in a community setting near to Didsbury Village, Manchester with great transport links.

We care for 12 male and female service users, who experience severe and enduring mental health issues, offering therapeutic packages of mental health rehabilitation to those who are both informal and detained under the Mental Health Act.

Role Responsibility

We aspire to work in true partnership with our service users and encourage everyone to reach their full potential, whilst working towards personal recovery goals. Ultimately our aim is to reintroduce and maintain daily living skills alongside psycho-social interventions necessary to equip people to live more independently in the community with confidence.

Working alongside a full and varied multi-disciplinary team consisting of consultant psychiatrists, doctors, mental health nurses, art therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists, support workers and project workers, you will develop therapeutic relationships with service users, and help them the to develop appropriate coping strategies and skills for independent living. Douglas House is a unique environment that gets great results for its service users and has a friendly, caring and inclusive team.

The Ideal Candidate

We are a 24 hour service and as such, we are looking for an experienced RMN to play a key role within the multi-disciplinary team. Your role will involve working 37 hours per week including night shifts (which are self-rostered and very flexible).

You will be fully engaged in a range of activities such as: taking part in clinical audits, acting as a primary nurse for nominated service users, participating in MDT reviews, and within the CPA process. Acting as a professional role model, you will also take part in clinical supervision and offer supervision to more junior members of staff and act as a mentor for student nurses.
