Haven Male PICU is our 7-bedded Psychiatric Intensive Care Unit at St Ann’s Hospital, supporting men through the most acute phase of serious mental illness. This is specialist, fast-paced and rewarding environment where your clinical skills, compassion and calm leadership truly matter.
Whether you’re an experienced nurse looking for your next challenge or a newly qualified RMN ready to start your career in a supportive and structured environment, this could be the perfect opportunity.
And there’s more - in May 2026 , we’re moving into a brand-new purpose-built 8-bedded ward , designed to enhance therapeutic care, patient safety and staff experience. By joining us now, you’ll not only become part of our established team, but you’ll also help shape the culture and energy of our new environment. It’s an exciting time to come on board.
Please be aware that applications from candidates that require sponsorship to work in the UK are unfortunately ineligible to apply for this position.
As a nurse on Haven, you won’t just “do the job” - you’ll be central to the recovery journey of every patient you support.
You will:
Deliver high-quality, person-centred nursing care to patients detained under the Mental Health Act
Lead shifts and act as a role model within a skilled multidisciplinary team
Build meaningful therapeutic relationships during times of crisis
Use positive engagement, DBT- and CBT-informed approaches alongside medication to promote recovery
Carry out dynamic risk assessments and support safe, least restrictive practice
Act as a named nurse, coordinating care plans that are truly co-produced
Champion both mental and physical health wellbeing
Support patients to regain independence, structure and confidence
This is an excellent area to begin your career and each year, we welcome a number of newly qualified nurses to our team and support them in developing their skills and confidence as a nurse.
This is also an exciting opportunity for nurses working in other settings who would like to utilise and apply their skills in a specialist environment, caring for people with a wide variety of presenting problems and needs.
You’ll need strong clinical skills, emotional intelligence and the ability to remain calm in challenging situations. In return, you’ll gain experience that will significantly enhance your professional confidence and career progression.
As a specialist service, we are able to provide opportunities to further develop your skills within specialised training such as RAID, Relational Security, DBT, CBT, enhanced risk assessment, and enhanced physical health interventions. Following successful completion of your 6 month probation period, you will meet with your supervisor to discuss your personal development plan which will identify your learning and training needs, so we can ensure you have all the skills you need to be the best you can be in your role.
We know that when our staff feel supported, valued and developed — our patients benefit too.
If you’re looking for a role where you’ll be challenged, supported and inspired - and where you’ll go home knowing you’ve made a real difference - Haven Male PICU could be your next step.
Come and be part of something exciting. Apply today.
