Job overview

Are you ready for a nursing role that will challenge you, grow you and genuinely make a difference every single day?

If you’re an RMN who thrives in dynamic environments, values therapeutic relationships and wants to be part of a close-knit, highly skilled team - we would love to meet you.

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 a specialist, fast-paced and rewarding environment where your clinical skills, compassion and calm leadership truly matter. Our work is focused, purposeful and recovery-driven.

We are proud of our safe and therapeutic ward culture. Our team is friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely supportive of one another. We work hard, we communicate openly and we value every member of the team.

And there’s more! In May 2026, we’re moving into a brand-new purpose-built hospital unit within St Ann's Hospital, 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.

Main duties of the job

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.
