Job Description: Band 6 Registered Mental Health Nurse
We are looking for a skilled and motivated Band 6 Registered Mental Health Nurse to join our Team within the Community Treatment Team. This post offers a dynamic and rewarding mix of community and hospital in-reach responsibilities, with a focus on delivering high-quality, recovery-oriented care.
In this role, you will provide care coordination and nursing support to service users with complex mental health needs across both community and inpatient settings. You’ll play a crucial part in ensuring smooth transitions between hospital and community care, attending Mental Health Act tribunals, preparing professional reports, and working closely with multidisciplinary teams.
You will need to be clinically experienced, solution focused, and competent in working with individuals, their families, and carers, in a community setting. You should have a collaborative and enthusiastic approach as well as the passion and commitment to develop and promote recovery-based interventions for adults with mental health-related needs.
