We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for an experienced and dedicated Advanced Nurse Practitioner to join our Older Adult Inpatient Team based at the Julian Hospital. Our service comprises five wards, including two functional wards and three organic wards, providing specialist assessment, treatment, and care for older adults with complex mental health needs.
As an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, you will provide comprehensive care for service users, from initial history taking and clinical assessment through to diagnosis, treatment, and evaluation of care. You will demonstrate safe clinical decision-making and expert practice, including advanced assessment and diagnostic skills within a mental health setting.
Working collaboratively with the multidisciplinary and medical teams, you will play a key role in meeting the needs of service users while providing strong clinical and professional nursing leadership to the wider nursing team. Critical thinking, effective communication, and a commitment to delivering high-quality, person-centred care will be essential within this rewarding and dynamic role.
Here at Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust we pride ourselves on being a welcoming, talented, friendly, and supportive organisation where colleagues value sharing experiences and learning from one another. We are committed to creating an environment where staff feel valued, supported, and able to thrive both professionally and personally.
In addition to ongoing training and development opportunities, we offer strong professional networks, access to leadership support, and opportunities to develop advanced clinical practice and leadership skills within a forward-thinking mental health service.
We recognise there are challenges across the NHS, but as a Trust we have ambitious aspirations and are progressing exciting transformation work to improve services for the communities we serve. We are looking for dedicated and compassionate individuals who want to be part of that journey and help shape the future of mental health care.
