Staff Nurse | Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust

Cedar's ward is a 10 bedded unit for male older people with organic illnesses. We aim to offer the best care we can provide to both patients and those that support them. We will work with families and carers on a discharge pathway back into the community, into their own homes and where this is not possible, assist in a smooth and dignified transfer into permanent care.

The post holder will be expected to undertake all aspects of the role identified in the job description and meet the requirements of the person specification. The role will involve delivering person centred care to the patients on the ward. You will be responsible for a wide range of tasks such as care planning and implementation, risk assessment, physical health assessment, liaising with the wider MDT, participating in ward rounds and fulfilling the role of named nurse.

We are proud to provide high quality mental health and learning disability services, both inpatient and in the community across five boroughs of Greater Manchester - Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport and Tameside and Glossop.

Our vision is for a happier and more hopeful life for everyone in our communities and our staff work hard to deliver the very best care for the people who use our services. We're really proud of our #PennineCarePeople and do everything we can to make sure we're a great place to work.

Our ambition is to maximise people's potential and we aim to promote an inclusive environment and improve the diversity of our workforce so our people truly represent the communities we serve.

All individuals regardless of race, age, disability, ethnicity, nationality, gender, gender reassignment, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marriage and civil partnership are encouraged to apply for this post. We would also encourage applications from individuals with a lived experience of mental illness, either individually or as a carer.
