ADHD Needs You!
Are you a registered nurse (RMN or RNLD) with an interest in ADHD or someone looking for a bit of a change?
Come and work with the Suffolk Adult ADHD team as part of our nursing team to help support the people of Suffolk along their ADHD journey. The Band 6 nurse will involve screening of new referrals, responding to duty calls as well as completion of annual review appointments for those people under our team. There are options for flexible / hybrid working and the opportunity to help shape ADHD provision for Suffolk moving forwards. We look forward to hearing from you!
Our Primary Goal
Our primary goal is to be able to walk alongside people during their ADHD journey to provide a kind, safe and effective level of support along the way. Although this role is ideally for an established community band 6 nurse with prior experience of ADHD, we would be open to the right person looking to expand their scope of practice or potentially as a development opportunity at band 6 for someone looking to step up from a band 5 role. If moving up from a band 5 role, we would need to see evidence of experience working in the community at Band 5.
Role Requirements
We are primarily looking for people with an existing mental health or learning disability nursing qualification. The applicant would need to be able to see patients face-to-face in one of our team bases in Suffolk if required so fully remote working would not be suitable.

Why Work for Us?
Hi - my name is Matt and I've worked for the Trust for over 20 years. I have always found this a brilliant organisation to work for and have felt totally supported by my colleagues both in East and West Suffolk and across the wider Trust. I had a change of direction moving from the inpatient ward to ADHD 4 years ago and working for the ADHD team is a refreshing change of pace as well as interesting and rewarding. I have never heard as much positive feedback about how our input is life-changing as I have since joining this team. I feel involved and consulted about changes and whilst the workload is high due to the high numbers of referrals, our waiting lists compare favourably with the rest of the NHS.
