Job Advert Role Description

Are you passionate about great care?

Do you want to be part of a great team and have opportunities that will help you develop your full potential and get the best out of your career?

Kemple View is a 90 bedded hospital with 4 LSU and 2 low secure and recovery wards for male service users only. All patients are detained under the Mental Health Act and their care is NHS funded.
