Job responsibilities

This full-time post in Psychiatry is held within a busy Dementia Assessment Unit based at Kingsway Hospital, Derby. There are 36 beds split between four pods.

The Work

This is a 0900-1700 full-time job working within an established and experienced multi-professional team looking after a diverse case mix of patients who experience behaviours that challenge in the context of dementia and delirium.
