Job Description

If you’re a skilled deputy manager who’s looking for a new professional opportunity, it could be time to add your expertise to ours. As we continue to grow and develop our services, we’ve established Wast Hills, a specialist hospital for people with autism.

Situated in six acres in a quiet semi-rural location near Kings Norton, Wast Hills provides specialist support for up to 28 autistic adults with associated complex needs. In this key role, you’ll make all the difference to your patients - while enjoying outstanding career prospects.

You’ll provide essential assistance and support in the day-to-day management of the hospital. Delivering first-rate nursing care, you’ll assess patients’ needs and develop individual care plans accordingly – evaluating these on a regular basis. You’ll also act as a professional role model for other staff, maintaining and upholding the highest clinical standards. This will mean participating in teaching programmes, supervising staff and carrying out appraisals. As part of the multi-disciplinary team visiting prospective patients, you’ll help to assess their needs and their suitability for treatment with us.

The role calls for a good knowledge of the Care Quality Commission (CQC), Mental Health Inspectorate, Health & Safety Executive and Environmental Health. You’ll need to be an RNLD, RNMH or RMN, with a Registered Manager’s Award, Al Assessor’s Award or equivalent.
