I’m Lorna, until recently, I was the Ward Manager of our Mulberry 2 ward. I am now the Modern Matron across our 3 Acute Adult Inpatient Wards. I am excited to advertise our new Ward Manager position for our 16-bed mixed Adult Inpatient Recovery Ward (Mulberry 3) on our Fulbourn site.

Being a Ward Manager isn’t for everyone, but I have loved it. Unlike many management roles, it allows you to remain in a clinical setting with daily engagement and interaction with patients. I also loved working with my team to support their development and new ideas. Being Ward Manager, you also have the autonomy to introduce new innovations and improvements.

Our Recovery Ward is part of our innovative and ambitious model of care, known as the 3-3-3 model. Our three wards work collaboratively to enable patients to access the right care at the right time. We have our Acute Assessment Unit (Mulberry 1), where patients stay up to 3 days, our Treatment ward (Mulberry 2), where patients stay up to 3 weeks and our Recovery Unit (Mulberry 3), where patients stay up to 3 months.

Mulberry 3 has recently undergone an interior renovation and we are excited to relaunch the ward. In this role you will have a unique opportunity, should you be successful, to shape and transform the day-to-day operation and provision of care on our Recovery Ward.

Please get in touch if you are interested in joining us on our journey.

Nursing

Mental Health Nursing is a demanding but rewarding career choice. You'll need to be compassionate, respectful and a team player with excellent communication skills and in return we can offer you a supportive, nurturing team to empower you to make a positive difference to the lives of service users.

So, if you enjoy a fast-paced environment, working with a diverse range of people to support you, inpatient nursing is for you.

We are focused on providing patient centred, service-user led care. We provide a range of bio/psycho/social and pharmacological interventions, therapies, activities, and education, to enable a safe discharge.

As a nurse’s role on the ward changes daily, our duties vary depending on the needs of our service-users and what support they require to ensure their recovery. When someone is in distress, we need to respond appropriately to reassure and support the service user by using positive coping methods established by the service user, their carers, and the multidisciplinary team.

Working together with service-users aged between 18 to 65 who come with their own unique complexities, backgrounds, and cultures, means each day has new challenges and no two days are alike.  Our goal is always to ensure our service users’ needs are put first.

Occupational Therapy

Our inpatient Occupational Therapy team offer a unique model of care focussed on supporting our service users. We have centralised our OT resource, rather than OTs being assigned to individual wards, they support our service users in their journey through our wards thus improving the development of therapeutic relationships.

The team have also introduced an innovative referral pathway, designed specifically to fit the needs of our service, and keep occupation focussed assessment and intervention as our core business. We have some fantastic facilities at our disposal including gym facilities, gardens, and, in Cambridge, our new ADL kitchen.

Working as an OT in and inpatient setting affords you the opportunity to utilise your specialist clinical skills every day, working with other OTs, allowing you to build and develop your clinical skills.

Psychology

Our inpatient Psychology team, work across the wards supporting service users at their most vulnerable. Working with service users in this setting requires specialist skills as you have a limited time to work with them. As a result, a significant part of your role will focus on supporting MDT colleagues to formulate and carry out therapeutic interventions to support service delivery.

We offer a range of psychological interventions including DBT informed, CBT, EMDR, ACT, person centred and psychoeducation. Alongside these therapies, we offer our service users the opportunity to attend therapeutic groups. When considering the needs of the people we care for we offer personality assessments, neuropsychological assessments, and forensic risk assessments. We have close ties with our colleagues in the community and specialist services too.

Our vibrant department which comprises services in Cambridge and Peterborough has close links with UEA and we receive trainees’ clinical psychologists completing their doctoral programme.

We are invested in providing the best care for our service users and frequently engage in research opportunities to guide our innovation and service development. We work collaboratively with the other members of the multidisciplinary team to complete research projects as a service.
