About the Role
Psychiatry of Old Age Services are looking for an organised individual with a desire to lead and who is keen to be part of developing an innovative and forward-looking service. You will need to be passionate about the care of the older adult with mental health needs, hold excellent communication skills, and be able to work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to provide person-centred nursing.
Responsibilities
As a Charge Nurse, you will exhibit strong leadership and management skills and will influence and develop practice. You will support the Senior Charge Nurse and the nursing team in developing QI work in a Psychiatry of Old Age inpatient setting. Within the Charge Nurse role, you will be responsible for leading and managing the day-to-day work of the nursing team.
Requirements
If you have these skills, display strengths based on effective leadership, can lead and manage change, and are committed to improving the patient, carer, and relative experience for those accessing older people's services, we want to hear from you.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
The in-patient areas work over 24 hours, 7 days per week, and there will be a requirement to rotate onto night duty when required and in line with the shift pattern of the area. We have recently changed to a condensed shift pattern working 11.5-hour shifts over a shorter working week.
You must be registered on Sub-part 1: RN3 or Sub-part 2: RN4 of the UK NMC Register.
