We are excited to advertise our Staff Nurse post for our Recovery ward, Oak 4 based in Peterborough at the Edith Cavell site. The Cavell is an accessible site with free parking, a café on site and a beautiful modern design with new wards.
At CPFT our adult inpatient wards operate an exciting, ambitious model of care, known as the 3-3-3 model, focussed on providing the right care at the right time. The three wards work together to provide the best care and support possible; Oak 3 our Acute Assessment Unit, where patients stay up to 3 days, Oak 1, our Treatment ward, where patients stay up to 3 weeks, and Oak 4, our Recovery Unit, where patients stay up to 3 months.
We need a charismatic, energetic, enthusiastic staff nurse to support the provision of evidence-based treatment and work with our multi-disciplinary team to support our service users in their recovery. On our Recovery ward we care for our local population experiencing serious mental illness.
Oak 4 maintains a recovery focus and emphasis on moving towards the community, by providing an environment for individuals to continue to engage with the goals identified throughout their admission to hospital. We work closely with Social Care and provide increased assessment and support around accessing housing and support packages.
The ward's bold model requires staff to have a commitment to teamwork, a sense of accountability, and an ability to work well under pressure when required.
If you are successful, we will support you in providing quality evidence-based nursing care for our service users with mental and physical health needs. As a staff nurse you will interact frequently with carers and families providing support and advice where appropriate.
You will be working as an integral part of the multidisciplinary team (MDT) and will be responsible for supporting and leading on the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of nursing care on a rotational shift basis. We will expect you to have a good level of knowledge of local, national policies and legislation which govern current service provision.
We will expect you to identify and contribute to the training needs of junior registered and unregistered staff and ensure that issues of equality, diversity and rights are dealt with in accordance with good practice and legislation.
