An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Safeguarding & Vulnerabilities Team as a Band 5 Reducing Restrictive Practice Nurse/Practitioner. This innovative role will support the Trust’s commitment to delivering least restrictive, trauma-informed and person-centred care across all clinical services. The post holder will work closely with multidisciplinary teams to reduce the use of restrictive practices, prevent and manage violence and aggression through early intervention, and improve outcomes and experiences for patients, families and staff.
You will provide specialist advice, deliver training, support incident reviews and quality improvement initiatives, and help staff understand and respond effectively to behaviours associated with distress, dysregulation and complex needs.
This role is integral to reducing the use of restrictive practices by improving staff confidence, capability, and compassion. Through your expertise and leadership, you will help create environments where patients feel safe, respected, and empowered, while supporting staff to deliver high-quality care in the least restrictive way possible.
If you are passionate about safeguarding, human rights, trauma-informed care, and making a meaningful difference to the lives of patients and staff, we would love to hear from you.
We are an award-winning NHS Foundation Trust working alongside health and social care colleagues across the county to provide acute and community healthcare services to more than 420,000 people across Mansfield, Ashfield, Newark and Sherwood, and parts of Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
Sherwood is nationally recognised as being an excellent place to work and deliver care. We are rightly proud of the 5,500 colleagues who work here.
We are proud that our Trust colleagues have voted us the best acute Trust to work for in the East Midlands for seven years running in the National NHS Staff Survey, while the Care Quality Commission has rated our Trust as ‘outstanding’ for care and our King’s Mill Hospital as the only ‘outstanding’ NHS-run hospital in the East Midlands.
We know happy colleagues deliver better care. All our teams work in a supportive environment, which nurtures your wellbeing and provides opportunities for development and progression. We do not just care for our patients, we also care for you.
We have an open, inclusive and diverse culture and we would like you to be part of the team.
