Community Mental Health Nurse - Neuropsychiatry
Band 6
WHO WE ARE:
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is one of the largest Integrated Health Board in the UK, employing over 16,000 staff and providing over 100 specialist services. Serving a population of around 500,000 people living in Cardiff and the Vale of Glamorgan, we are focussed on the health
and care needs of our local population whilst also working with our partners to develop regional services. Together we are committed to improving health outcomes for everyone and to delivering excellent care and support.
Our mission is “Living Well, Caring Well, Working Together”. We have recently refreshed our strategy, Shaping Our Future Wellbeing, which sets out the Health Board’s Vision for improving the health and wellbeing of the populations we serve by 2035 through the delivery of our strategic
objectives; Putting People First, Providing Outstanding Quality, Delivering in the Right Places, and Acting for the Future. We have challenging times ahead, but we are confident that by tackling these challenges together, we can support people to live healthier lives and reduce the unfair differences in
the prevalence of illness and health outcomes we see in our communities today. We aspire to deliver outstanding care and treatment for people when they need it, where they need it; care that compares well with the best in the world, but to do so, we need to transform how we deliver services over the
next decade and beyond.
We are a values-driven organisation and out goals will only be realised if our values are at the heart of everything we do. Created by colleagues, patients and their families and carers, our values are:
- We are kind and caring
- We are respectful
- We have trust and integrity
- We take personal responsibility
As an organisation we strongly believe that it is vital our leaders exhibit the behaviours and values that we expect from all our staff.
We are a teaching Health Board with close links to the university sector, and together we are training the next generation of healthcare professionals, while working on research that will hopefully unlock the cures for today’s illnesses
Please be advised that there is a temporary top up for Bands 1,2 and 3 to reflect the incorporation of the top up to the living wage of £12 per hour - £23,465 per annum. This temporary top up will be in place until the annual pay uplift for 2024/25 is confirmed
Job overview
An exciting opportunity has arisen for Band 6 mental health nurses to work within our Day and Community team as part of the Welsh Neuropsychiatric service. The Day and Community Neuropsychiatry team is based at Hafan y Coed, University Hospital Llandough, next door to Ash Ward, the Neuropsychiatry Inpatient Ward.
We are an All-Wales specialist tertiary mental health service for individuals who have suffered a serious acquired brain injury. The service provides a comprehensive resource for the assessment, investigation, management and rehabilitation for patients suffering with neuropsychiatric, cognitive, emotional and behavioural problems as a result of that injury.
The All Wales Neuropsychiatry Service is currently undergoing transformation and working towards a hub and spoke, liaison model. This will allow Neuropsychiatry Services to act as a specialist resource to support appropriate management of people with brain injuries to services across Wales. This support will be goal centred, time limited and prudent in approach.
Main duties of the job
We are looking for enthusiastic, hardworking individuals who are dedicated to providing high-quality person-centred care and who enjoy working collaboratively with a wide multi-disciplinary team. You would be expected to demonstrate excellent communication skills, compassion and the ability to coordinate your own caseload. As this is an All-Wales Service, staff are often required to travel to support individual’s resident to other health boards across Wales. Applications would be welcomed from all individuals with a background of mental health nursing, especially those with experience of neuropsychiatry.
We would welcome people to visit us, to find out more about the service.
The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
