As a Senior Staff Nurse will have already gained some experience working either in other inpatient settings (including prison healthcare), or in the community and as part of this you will have developed a sound understanding of the principles of recovery within mental healthcare so as to support others to guide patients as they progress on their individual treatment journeys.

Our shifts generally run from 7:30am - 8pm for day shifts and 7:30pm - 8am for night shifts, and full time colleagues can expect to work 3 shifts per week for 3 weeks and 1 week where you will have 4 shifts (this will vary depending on the needs of Hospital).
