Priory Hospital Barnt Green, located in Barnt Green, Birmingham, is a purpose-built hospital providing mental health support for adults and young people, including specialist therapy and psychiatry, as well as private autism assessments for adults. It is accessible by public transport, with Barnt Green railway station approximately 12 miles from the hospital and local bus routes serving the surrounding area.

• Promote clinical governance and quality improvement, ensure compliance with safeguarding, the Mental Capacity Act, Deprivation of Liberty Safeguards, medicines management, and the NMC Code, while maintaining positive relationships with patients, relatives and colleagues, responding professionally to concerns and supporting the safe management of challenging situations.

What you'll bring to the role:

• Qualified Registered RMN with 6-12 months post registration experience and active NMC Registration, having completed preceptorship or equivalent programme.
• Knowledge of NMC standards, guidelines, requests and professional practices.

What we will give you in return:

• Contributory pension scheme and flexible benefits including reduced rates and access to new schemes such as gym membership, IT technology (laptops/tablets/smartphones) and private healthcare.
• Access to development opportunities and sponsorship of professional qualifications through our Individual Professional Development (IPD) panel.
