This is your opportunity to join a trusted provider with over 35 years of experience delivering high‑quality, person‑centred support across England and Wales. 

Why Join?

This 18‑bed hospital supports adults with complex mental health needs, offering structured therapeutic interventions, recovery‑focused care, and a safe, stable environment.

• Managing budgets and financial monitoring
• Driving service development and strategic planning
• Providing visible, values‑driven leadership and promoting a positive culture
• Supporting nurses with revalidation and professional development
• Ensuring excellent infection prevention and control
• Maintaining a safe, compliant environment at all times

This is a hands‑on leadership role where no two days are the same-and where your impact is felt across the entire service.

• A Registered Mental Health Nurse (RMN) with active NMC registration
• An experienced leader from an inpatient or intensive mental health setting
• Knowledgeable in Welsh mental health legislation and HIW requirements
• Skilled in safeguarding, governance, and multi‑agency working
