Are you a Registered Mental Health Nurse looking for a new opportunity to work in an organisation that will help you to develop and achieve your goals to become the best you can be? If so, you're in luck!

You will join our team on the Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU), which is a 9 bedded, mixed sex, mental health ward based within St Cadocs Hospital, Caerleon. We welcome applications from student nurses due to qualify outside of Wales, as well experienced nurses who wish to work either full or part-time. We adopt a flexible/blended approach to rostering, including 12 hour shifts, to ensure that you are able to manage your work/life balance, so tell us what you can work and we will try to accommodate your needs.

As a qualified Mental Health Nurse (RMN), you will ensure people with mental health conditions receive high-quality care, while also supporting your colleagues and promoting good teamwork.

No two days are the same, with plenty to keep you engaged and motivated, but also a good amount of routine.

We will ensure that you have access to both managerial and clinical supervision, and actively support individual well-being. There are also career development opportunities, a huge range of courses that will help you grow and succeed. If you have the aspiration, capability and dedication, we can give you the support and opportunities to help you achieve your career goals.

Main duties of the job

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a RNMH/RNLD to work as part of an innovative and collaborative Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit.

The ward ethos is to provide person centred care, drawing on the individual's strengths, likes and interests, incorporating this into their care and treatment. The ward primarily supports people who are suffering levels of distress and need a secure environment, patients usually accessing our services can present with external and internal aggression, risk of absconding behaviour and high risk of self harm.

The outcome for individuals is to aid in recovery, gain an understanding of their needs, risk and reasons for behaviours.

The ward is a 9 bedded unit, comprising of both male and female service users from across Aneurin Bevan University Health Board. We shared the vision of the health board to support people in the local area as much as possible. We are a recovery focused ward that also caters for acute crisis admissions.

If you are newly qualified or an experienced registered nurse and would like to know more, please contact the ward manager.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
