Band 6 Community Mental Health Nurse
We are looking for a motivated and enthusiastic Band 6 Community Mental Health Nurse to become part of the East Sussex Rehabilitation Pathway. You will be joining a friendly and supportive multi-disciplinary team that works closely together to provide high-quality, person-centred care. We value collaboration with our patients and their families, and are committed to supporting individuals to reach their optimum level of mental health and wellbeing in the community.
This post offers the Trust's £2,000 Golden Hello or Relocation Incentive for Band 6 Nurses & Practitioners, (pro rata and subject to terms and conditions; please see attached Protocol Document for full details).
The Role
The East Sussex Rehabilitation Pathway provides inpatient and community rehabilitation for individuals with complex mental health needs, offering both short- and long-term support.
This community-based role focuses on delivering long-term rehabilitation interventions as a Lead Practitioner, supporting service users for up to three years. The team holds medical responsibility, working collaboratively to promote recovery, independence and meaningful outcomes.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You will work with adults (18+) with complex and enduring mental health needs, most often severe mental illness such as schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder. Service users are supported and motivated to engage in their recovery journey.
Who We Support
We work with individuals who:
- Require more intensive support than standard community services
- Have experienced barriers to recovery and ongoing functional difficulties
- Are transitioning from high-support settings to greater independence
- Need focused community input to support discharge from inpatient care.
Our services provide compassionate, specialist mental health care to individuals experiencing a range of conditions, including psychosis, depression, anxiety, dementia and personality disorders. Alongside this, our specialist learning disability services deliver both community and inpatient care for people with complex and often unmet health needs.
