    Description

    Job summary

    Ward 1 is a 13 bedded male Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit based at Springfield Hospital providing 24-hour care for adults aged 18-75 years old who are acutely unwell and who are deemed to present as too high risk to be managed on an acute admission ward. We aim to ensure that a service user should be treated within the least restrictive environment as possible. Care and treatment offered is patient-centred, multidisciplinary, intensive, comprehensive, and collaborative.

    In 2022, the ward had some improvement work done to improve patient intervention and recovery. In addition, to the existing structure, ward 1 now has a de-escalation room, sensory room, and extra care suite to cater for the needs of clients.

They will lead on quality improvement initiatives and support a culture of reflection and learning. Lastly the candidate will be able to mentor, counsel, coach and generally support those who are not confident in the clinical environment, building morale and self-esteem and generally encouraging others to give their best performance.
