Description

The Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) based in St Cadoc's Hospital are looking for Health Care Support Workers to join the team.

Beechwood ward is a 9-bedded mixed gender Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

The PICU offers a Health Board wide service and therefore accepts referrals for patients within the catchment area of Aneurin Bevan University Health Board.

It is a locked ward, although the structured physical environment is designed to facilitate therapeutic management that is assessed and based on specialist intensive interventions and not containment.

It is an integral part of the Health Board's mental health patient pathway.

The Unit provides intensive, short term, individualized care for those patients who are detained under the Mental Health Act and who are in an acutely disturbed phase of a serious mental disorder, resulting in increased risks that seriously compromise their physical or psychological well-being, or that of others and require them to be assessed or treated in a supported environment for a brief period of time.

The post holder is a key member of the in-patient multi-disciplinary team, working within a recovery-focused service. There is a need to demonstrate a commitment to teamwork. Part time hours will also be considered, along with flexible working shifts.

We are looking for a individual who is passionate about patient care and driven to working in collaboration with families and other services to provide a truly individual, holistic and a person centred approach to nursing.

We value personal qualities such as kindness, compassion, warmth and the willingness to go the extra mile for our services users above all else.

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