Job Advert Role Description
At Priory, we aspire to deliver the highest quality of care and support. As a Bank Mental Health Nurse, you’ll have the opportunity to support our teams across a range of mental health services, on your own schedule. We welcome anyone looking for a more flexible work pattern, additional shifts, or a chance to support people with a variety of needs.
Being a Bank Mental Health Nurse at Priory will provide you with excellent clinical and educational opportunities as you’ll likely work on different wards and teams, allowing you to gain exposure and acquire expertise in many mental health specialities.
Burgess Hill
Priory Hospital Burgess Hill has a new and exciting opportunity for you to join our Team; in September 2023 we opened a third ward which is a 10 bedded male adult PICU.
The hospital is currently split across three units:
- EA – male psychiatric intensive care ward
- AJ – male psychiatric intensive care ward
- MS – acute general adult male-only ward
New members of our team have an exceptional opportunity to help shape the future of our services and a genuine chance to be part of transforming them. With a renewed focus on quality and excellence at its heart the service aims to grow and extend its current offering.
This is your chance to play an influential part in developing and improving the current services and to make a real and lasting difference to the lives of the people in our care.
Who we are
Priory is the largest private behavioural health provider in the UK, with around 350 facilities in our Healthcare and Adult Care divisions. We strive for excellence, and although the vast majority of our sites are already rated Good or Outstanding by the CQC, we always aspire to do better. Putting our people first is central to our values. This includes the people we support and their families as well as our dedicated staff who make a difference every day.
Working at Priory
We do our best to match you with the services and shifts that work best with your skills and lifestyle. But no matter where you work, our Bank Mental Health Nurses are always part of the team. You’ll be in all daily meetings and involved in all relevant decision-making. Your ideas and expertise will be heard as we all work together to provide the best for our patients.
As well as giving you the flexibility to work around your life, we want to make sure you feel at home at Priory. You’ll be partnered with your own dedicated line manager who will check in regularly to ensure you have the training and support you need. Depending on the site you’re working at, you’ll receive either free or heavily subsided meals and almost all of our sites offer free parking. You will also be entitled to annual leave. Many of our Bank Mental Health Nurses have progressed or transitioned into permanent positions with us, so this could be an option if your situation changes in the future.
What you’ll need
We ask that you’re a fully registered nurse with active NMC PIN and that you have some experience working in a similar clinical environment. Aside from that, all of our people must show integrity and compassion in their work and share our goal of delivering excellent care for our people.
Bank staff may be paid at the rate of £19.89 if they do not:
• Work on average a minimum of 4 shifts per 4-week period
• Have 95% compliance with training modules (online or offered in person) at any one time
• Cannot have been Priory permanent staff in past 3 months
