jobs description
The Chichester Centre is a modern unit providing low secure services for men and women. The service is configured around two male wards and one female ward, with 15-17 service users on each of the wards. Each ward has a well-established MDT led by a ward manager. The MDTs include nursing, OT, social work, psychiatry and psychology. There is an in-reach pharmacy, SALT and GP service. We have a working together group (WTG) which meets fortnightly and includes service user representatives from each ward as well as staff. The WTG take a lead on service improvement across the unit.

As Ward Manager, you will be an integral part of our multi-disciplinary team leading on the care and delivery for our service users. We play a crucial part in supporting and advocating service users towards recovery, while maintaining the legal requirements within the MHA. Experience of working within a forensic service is desirable, however, not essential.
