Are you a Mental Health Nurse looking for a new challenge!!

We are seeking to recruit a positive, motivated, and compassionate practitioner who is committed to the principles of recovery, to work as part of the multidisciplinary Residential Rehabilitation Team at Forest Lodge.

Forest Lodge is an 18-bedded unit near Southampton City Centre supporting 6 female residents and 12 male residents in a communal living environment. At the unit, we proactively support residents experiencing mental health and associated difficulties to improve and/or maintain their health and wellbeing, and social inclusion, promoting the principles of recovery, choice, and personalisation at all times.

This exciting opportunity will enable the successful candidate to gain experience of supporting people to develop, retain or regain independent living skills that have been disrupted through the experience of living with mental illness. The Mental Health Practitioner will have an opportunity to facilitate groups as well as 1:1 sessions both at the unit and in community settings, working alongside a wide variety of agencies and organisations in Southampton and Hampshire.

As part of an innovative and professional service, the successful candidates will show initiative and resilience, and will be responsible for collaboratively: assessing, planning, implementing and evaluating the recovery and care needs of residents, leading shifts, and maintaining the safety and effectiveness of the ward environment, within the overall framework of the service’s policies and procedures.

For more information or to arrange a visit to Forest Lodge, please contact Thomas Franklin Rehabilitation Manager on 023 8231 0250.
