About Haven Male PICU
Haven Male PICU is a newly-built 8 bedded male PICU that provides a high level of effective and compassionate care to men who are experiencing the most acute phase of a serious mental disorder and behavioural disturbance. Our service users may present with significant risk of harm to themselves and others, as well as vulnerability from others.
Role and Responsibilities
You will be supported closely by the ward manager and wider team who will provide a comprehensive induction programme for a Clinical Team Leader joining the Psychiatric Intensive Care service. In return for joining us on Haven you will become a valued member of our team and have a say in how our service develops.
Clinical Team Leaders undertake a dual clinical and leadership role; acting as a deputy for the Ward Manager. They play a key role in the day-to-day management of the ward; are a main point of contact for advice/decisions and will support, supervise and manage staff at every level. They also assist in the delivery of local and nationally required outcomes and will often be given a lead role to manage in their own right.
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.
PICU experience is desirable, but not essential as you will be working within an experienced multi-disciplinary team.

- Engaging patients in doing a variety of activities both on the ward and off the ward

You will be required to undertake a Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression course and it is a condition of your employment that you successfully complete all aspects of this course; if this is not achieved you will not be able to commence working in the post.
