About the Role
We are seeking a skilled and motivated Community Psychiatric Nurse (CPN) to join the CMHT Forensic Interface Provision, a specialist function within Community Mental Health Services. The post holder will be based within and work closely alongside Small Heath CMHT.
The provision delivers enhanced, time-limited, and high-intensity community interventions to people with complex mental health needs at critical points in their recovery. This includes individuals stepping down from secure and forensic services, as well as CMHT service users requiring additional therapeutic input, coordinated risk management, and continuity of care to remain safely supported in the community.
The role offers an opportunity to strengthen pathways between secure care and community services, improve transitions, and support recovery, stability, and independence. You will work as part of a small, specialist MDT alongside partners across health, social care, and the criminal justice system.
To support the complexity of the work, the role operates with a reduced caseload, typically around 15 service users, subject to clinical need and service pressures. The post holder will undertake Social Supervision training, which will be fully supported and provided.
