• Contribute to the development and maintenance of a supportive and collaborative work environment, ensuring that all staff feel valued and empowered to deliver excellent patient care.
• Ensure adherence to hospital policies and procedures, maintaining the hospital’s high standards of care and operational efficiency.

About You:

To succeed in this role, you will have a background in mental health, with specific experience in areas such as PICU, ED, rehabilitation, or acute mental health settings. You will be an experienced leader who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about making a real difference to the lives of the people we care for. You will be a resilient, empathetic, and proactive individual with a strong focus on patient-centred care and team collaboration.

Desired Skills and Experience:

• Proven leadership skills with the ability to manage a team effectively and provide direction during the night shift.
• Strong clinical decision-making skills, with the ability to remain calm under pressure.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and support staff at all levels.
