You will be developed to grow into a confident, autonomous professional with refined skills, values and behaviours. That’s on top of your new role helping to change the lives of others and making a difference.

As a preceptee nurse, you’ll work 37.5 hours per week (12 hour shifts) at Spring Wood Lodge where you will help women over the age of 18 who have complex emotional and mental health problems associated with significant risk behaviours.

No two days are the same, with plenty to keep you engaged and motivated, a good amount of routine and colleagues there to help and encourage you.

They may not have had their needs met in a general psychiatric service including acute inpatient units, community mental health teams or community personality disorder service. Working as part of a team, you will focus on active rehabilitation with a view to achieving sustainable discharge.

What you will get:   At Elysium Healthcare, we believe in taking care of the people who care for others, you’ll enjoy a comprehensive benefits package designed to support your wellbeing, growth, and future:

  • Annual base salary of £28,492
