Nelson House is a modern and spacious 28 bed locked rehabilitation recovery service for men with mental illness. By having a focus on the development of skills for independence the unit provides a positive step for patients, many whose next step will be living in the community. It helps patients learn new ways of managing their conditions and symptoms with the aim of helping to prevent any future relapse. For patients with challenging behaviours, Nelson House helps them to learn skills to change their response to anxiety and distress. You will be responsible for leading the assessment and treatment arm of the service (14 beds) which we have recently established. We also plan to recruit junior medical support as the service develops further.
